在这里，我们探索利用凤眼莲（俗称水葫芦）作为转化为燃料的有竞争力的生物质来源。从生态角度来说，凤梨是一类有毒和入侵性水生植物中最不受欢迎的一种。水葫芦在水道表面迅速生长，形成致密的垫子，耗尽周围环境的必需营养物质。这些特性在其他植物系统中很少遇到，是可再生生物质的理想原料的特征。高特征含水量限制了物料的运输范围；然而，它也使 E. crassipes 成为快速微生物代谢的天然底物，可用作潜在有效的生物预处理技术。我们通过生命周期分析表明，水葫芦是一种有竞争力的原料，其生产成本可能约为每吨干物质 40 美元。
Here we explore the utilization of Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as water hyacinth, as a competitive source of biomass for conversion to fuel. Ecologically, E. crassipes is the most undesirable of a class of noxious and invasive aquatic vegetation. Water hyacinth grows rapidly on the surface of waterways, forming a dense mat which depletes the surrounding environment of essential nutrients. These properties, rarely encountered in other plant systems, are features of an ideal feedstock for renewable biomass. The high characteristic water content limits the range over which the material can be transported; however it also makes E. crassipes a natural substrate for rapid microbial metabolism that can be employed as a potentially effective biological pretreatment technology. We show through a life cycle analysis that water hyacinth is a competitive feedstock with the potential to be produced at a cost of approximately $40 per ton of dry mass.
