The study investigated the production of bioethanol from softwood, in particular pine wood
chip. The steam explosion pretreatment was largely investigated, evaluating also the …

This paper deals with the production of bioethanol from ligno-cellulosic biomass, in
particular a softwood biomass from forestry sector is tested: pine wood chip is a residual …

Fuel ethanol can be produced from lignocellulosics by an enzymatic process consisting of
steam pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation and ethanol refining. This thesis …

To increase the overall ethanol yield from softwood, the steam pretreatment stage can be
carried out in two steps. The two‐step pretreatment process was evaluated from a techno …

In this paper, the second generation pathway for bioethanol from hornbeam residues was
investigated, in order to define the optimum operative conditions of steam explosion …

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the lignin content in four hybrid poplars for
enhancing ethanol production. The study was conducted using steam explosion at 200 and …

Two-step steam pretreatment of softwood was investigated with the aim of improving the
enzymatic digestibility for ethanol production. In the first step, softwood was impregnated …

Two‐step steam pretreatment of softwood on laboratory scale has previously been shown to
result in higher yields than one‐step steam pretreatment. In this study, these results are …

Ethanol produced from renewable resources can be used to replace fossil fuels such as
gasoline and diesel. This thesis deals with the development of the enzymatic process used …

Lignocellulosic biomass, including wood, can be transformed into bioethanol using steam
explosion as pretreatment to improve saccharification and fermentation steps. Pretreatment …
