This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding CO2 as an impregnation agent in steam explosion on oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) for bioethanol production. The influence of this treatment on the characteristics of EFB, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation of EFB was evaluated in this investigation. CO2-added steam explosion was conducted varying the CO2 impregnation time (0, 30, 60 min). The results showed that the addition of CO2 in steam explosion increased the surface area, pore area, and pore volume of EFB. Furthermore, this treatment enabled obtaining yields of glucose and ethanol of 84.14% and 56.01%, respectively, for 60 min CO2 impregnation time. These results were higher than the glucose and ethanol yields of the sample treated by conventional steam explosion, which reached 58.12% and 41.37%, respectively. The findings illustrate the possibility of applying CO2-added steam explosion (CO2SE) for increasing the efficiency of biomass conversion.

Abstract In this study, we evaluated the effect of steam explosion of oil palm frond (OPF) and oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) on nutrient composition and ruminal fermentation characteristics in vitro. The results showed that steam explosion decreased NDF (P < 0.01), ADF (P < 0.01), and hemicellulose content (P < 0.01) in OPF and EFB. Steam explosion improved the effective energy value of OPF and EFB. In vitro fermentation results revealed that 72-h gas production capacity of OPF and EFB increased by 12.60and 85.06% (P < 0.01), respectively, after steam explosion. Steam explosion had a tendency to improve the concentration of total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) (P = 0.082). In conclusion, steam explosion of OPF and EFB reduced NDF, ADF, and hemicellulose content and increased gas production and TVFA concentration.
