The present work utilized a by-product of the starch industry in Malaysia, Sago bark waste
(SB), for pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. SB was subjected to two types of alkaline …

A double pretreatment was developed to improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis and
to increase the sugars production from palm fibre in batch and fed-batch systems. After …

Sodium hydroxide pretreatment of oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF) was carried out with
NaOH from 2% to 10%(w/v) at temperature 500C and 700C. The performances of …

A combination of steam explosion (SE) and chemical pretreatments, such as acid sulfite
(AS), alkali (AL), and alkaline sulfite (ALS), were evaluated using bamboo. Low pressure …

Maximizing the amount of monomeric sugar yield from lignocellulosic materials requires an
effective pretreatment process and identification of an optimal enzyme loading for cost …

Sweet sorghum has been identified as a promising feedstock for biological conversion to
fuels as well as other chemicals. The lignocellulosic stalk of sweet sorghum, called sweet …

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2) respectively dissolved in
water and 70% glycerol were applied to treat sugarcane bagasse (SCB) under the condition …

The sugar palm tree (Arenga pinnata) was abundant in Indonesia and has high cellulose
contents for bioethanol production. However, the lignin content was the major drawback …

About 800,000 tons of bagasse is obtained per year as a by-product from sugar industries in
Bangladesh. Bagasse is one of the most readily available lignocellulosic biomass that is a …

Pretreatment of bamboo shoot shell (BSS) by a combination of alkalic salts with hydrogen
peroxide (H 2 O 2) was evaluated for its delignification effect and for its ability to enhance …
