Magnet enhances the production of ethanol

Brazilian scientists have discovered the benefits of magnetic waves that can enhance the production of ethanol and reduce the cost of fuel produced from ethanol.

Victor Perez and his colleagues at Campinas University used low frequency magnetic waves to significantly increase the amount of ethnol produced through the fermentation of sugar.

While bioethanol is a promising alternative to obsolete fuels, it is now very expensive and inefficient to manufacture and is now an attempt to deepen research. on the way to improve production methods.

In a new study, the researchers demonstrated low-frequency magnetic waves that were used during fermentation based on sugarcane enzymes - the main source of ethanol in Brazil - increased 17% of the produces ethnol. Scientists have also discovered that ethanol production takes place more quickly, 2 hours faster than conventional fermentation methods.

The study will be reported on October 5 in the American Journal of Biotechnology Progress.
