The industrial production of sugar syrups from lignocellulosic materials requires the
conduction of the enzymatic hydrolysis step at high-solids loadings (ie, with over 15% solids …

The pretreatment and the enzymatic saccharification are the key steps in the extraction of
fermentable sugars for further valorization of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to biofuels and …

The simultaneous removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from water requires
multifunctional adsorbents. Cryogels of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and sugarcane …

The building insulation is one of the needed element or component in building construction;
it protects the construction against heat leakage for saving energy. The current research …

Adsorption in biomass has proven to be a cost-effective option for treatment of wastewater
containing dyes and other pollutants, as it is a simple and low cost technique and does not …

Corn cobs (CCs) are abundant xylan-rich agricultural wastes. Here, we compared CCs XOS
yields obtained via two different pretreatment routs, alkali and hydrothermal, using a set of …

Solid state enzymatic hydrolysis (SSEH) has many advantages, such as higher sugar
concentration, lower operating costs, and less energy input. It should be a potential …

Background Due to biomass recalcitrance, including complexity of lignocellulosic matrix,
crystallinity of cellulose, and inhibition of lignin, the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass …

Cellulose is the most abundant renewable polymer resource in nature and cellulose-based
materials are expected to serve as viable replacements to petroleum-based plastic products …

Background Biomass recalcitrance to enzymatic hydrolysis has been assigned to several
structural and chemical factors. However, their relative importance remains challenging to …
