This study focuses on second-generation bioethanol production via enzymatic  hydrolysis of wastepaper, an abundant lignocellulosic biomass. Wastepaper,  predominantly composed of cellulose and hemicellulose, offers significant  potential as a feedstock due to its high availability and reduced competition  with food sources. Enzymatic hydrolysis using Aspergillus niger and  Saccharomyces cerevisiae was employed to convert cellulose into fermentable  sugars and subsequently into bioethanol. Key parameters investigated include  wastepaper texture (blended and unblended) and weight (5g, 10g, and 15g) to  optimize bioethanol yields. Results demonstrate that blending wastepaper  significantly enhances hydrolysis efficiency due to increased surface area.  Optimal bioethanol production was achieved at a texture-to-weight ratio that  balanced substrate accessibility and microbial activity. This research  underscores the viability of using enzymatic hydrolysis for bioethanol  production from wastepaper, contributing to renewable energy solutions and  sustainable waste management practices.20aFaculty of Industrial Sciences and TechnologyxDissertations 0aUniversities and collegesxDissertations 0aFinal Year ReportxDissertations  uhttp://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/45699
