Abstract/Executive Summary
This study explores the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to enhance bioethanol production from potato peel waste. By using the abundant and low-cost nature of potato peels and the catalytic properties of AgNPs, this research aims to contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solution. The study investigates the impact of different AgNP concentrations on bioethanol yield and its other properties, including sugar content, purity, and yield percentages. A comprehensive methodology was employed for milling, nanoparticle synthesis, pretreatment, fermentation, and purification. The results, supported by ANOVA analysis, will demonstrate if the AgNP concentrations significantly improve bioethanol yield. The finding highlights the potential of AgNPs in optimizing bioethanol production from potato peel waste. The research offers a promising approach to sustainable bioethanol production, promoting the efficient utilization of agricultural waste and contributing to a greener future.
