3. Hydrolysis is a chemical process
which water molecule is added
to a substance resulting in the
split of that substance into two
parts
4. Used to recover glucose from cellulose,
involves treating a finely divided suspension
of cellulose-containing waste with a weak
acid
acid
(C6H10O5)n + H2O n C6H12O6
cellulose glucose
Sugar and glucose extracted from the cellulose
can be converted by other chemical process
into alcohols and other chemicals.

6. Alkaline hydrolysis is a process
by which heat and pressure
dissolve and sterilize animal in a
strong solution of sodium or
potassium hydroxide

8. This process is based on
enzymatic decomposition of
organic matter by microbial
action to produce methane gas
or alcohol.
9. Methane methanol
Methane, produced from anaerobicn
digestion,can be converted into methanol,
involves two reaction
1- CH4 + H2O CO + 3H2 (endothermic)
2- CO + 2H2 CH3OH (exothermic)
