Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass to overcome its intrinsic recalcitrant nature prior to
the production of valuable chemicals has been studied for nearly 200 years. Research has …

Recalcitrant nature of lignocellulosic biomass is a major hurdle in the holistic utilization of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in biorefinery operations. Pretreatment of lignocellulosic …

Lignocelluloses' pretreatment is targeted for the improvement of hydrolysis of their
carbohydrates, ie, cellulose and hemicelluloses. Modification of the hardheaded structure of …

Dependence on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas are on alarming increase,
thereby causing such resources to be in a depletion mode and a novel sustainable …

Solid organic wastes (SOWs) are abundant resources that can be used for conversion to
biofuels. Among various conversion technologies, anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the …

Biogas production from agricultural residues represents an effective and sustainable option
for handling vast quantities of lignocellulosic waste for meeting the global energy demand …
