Lignocellulosic biomass has been considered as one of the most promising feedstocks for
production of the second-generation biofuels and biochemicals without food and fuel …

The acid pretreatment process is the most employed technique used to disrupt the
lignocellulosic matrix. Thus, this paper provides an overview of the acid pretreatment …

The effect of thermal, acid, alkaline and alkaline-peroxide pretreatments on the methane
produced by the anaerobic digestion of wheat straw (WS) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB) …

Contemporary industrial developments and rapid pace of urbanization have called for an
environmentally sustainable energy sources. Ethanol made from biomass provides unique …

In the present work, samples of sugar cane bagasse were hydrolysed with phosphoric acid
under mild conditions (H3PO4 2–6%, time 0–300min and 122° C) to study the feasibility of …

Sugar cane bagasse was hydrolysed using nitric acid at variable concentration (2–6%),
reaction time (0–300 min) and temperature (100–128° C). The concentration of sugars …

Rice hulls (RH) and bean hulls (BH) were subjected to prehydrolysis treatments, to define
the optimum conditions for producing a high percentage of hydrolyzed hemicellulose with a …

Sorghum straw is a waste that has been studied scarcely. The main application is its use as
raw material for xylose production. Xylose is a hemicellulosic sugar mainly used for its …

Mild acid hydrolysis of various plant residues has been proposed in recent years as a novel
way of transforming biomass into bioplastics. However, the alkaline hydrolysis of such …

Hydrothermal transformation of microcrystalline cellulose (isolated from birch wood) under
the influence of Al2O3-B2O3 mixed oxide solid acid catalysts was studied at temperatures of …
