在美国纽约州纽约大学的安冬尼奥·番里研究所工作的科学家们最近创造一种把废弃的纤维素废料连续转变成葡萄糖的新方法。它是在使用了具有双轴相对回转结构的挤压机以后取得的生产廉价酒精燃料的新方法。新方法可使燃料酒精的价格降低到原来的一半。每年在美国约产生五亿多吨纤维素类废料。其中包括二亿七千八百万吨植物的茎和谷物的皮壳、一亿二千五百万吨森林业废物以及一亿吨左右的城市垃圾。虽然这些纤维素废料极易燃烧,能直接转变成可供利用的能源。但 Scientists working at the Ann Donovan Institute in New York, New York, have recently created a new method for the continuous conversion of discarded cellulosic waste into glucose. It is a new method of producing cheap alcohol fuels after using an extruder with a biaxial relative rotary structure. The new method can reduce the price of fuel alcohol by half. Each year, about 500 million tons of cellulose wastes are produced in the United States. These include 278 million tons of plant stems and grain hulls, 125 million tons of forestry waste, and 100 million tons of municipal waste. Although these cellulose wastes are extremely flammable, they can be directly converted into available energy sources. but
