Biorefining of lignocellulosic biomass is a relatively new concept but it has strong potential to
develop and partially replace the fossil derived fuels and myriad of value products to …

This review provides a critical analysis of the state of the art of dilute acid pretreatment
applied to lignocellulosic biomass. Data from 63 publications were extracted and analysed …

The application of maleic acid (MA) has led to increase efficiency and selectivity in biomass
pretreatment process. This study aimed to determine the optimum condition of MA …

Abstract Ultrasound-assisted-alkali-urea (UAAU) pre-treatment of miscanthus biomass was
investigated for enhanced delignification and extraction of cellulose fiber. The effects of pre …

A comparative analysis of the response of agave bagasse (AGB) to pretreatment by
ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX™), autohydrolysis (AH) and ionic liquid (IL) was performed …

Naturally abundant, non-edible and inexpensive lignocellulosic biomass is an appropriate
substrate for biogas production through anaerobic digestion. In order to attain most of the …

This work reports an improved process of enzymatic saccharification on Agave salmiana
leaves and its conversion into bioethanol comparing strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

Agave bagasse (AB) is the main solid waste generated by the tequila industry in Mexico,
which is an environmental concern due to its considerable volume of production (377,000 …

Biocatalytic degradation of recalcitrant pollutants employing ligninolytic enzymes is a
promising approach for wastewater treatment. However, enzymes production must be …

Agave bagasse is a lignocellulosic agroindustrial waste suitable for biofuel production. This
study aimed to compare biological, enzymatic, chemical, and hydrothermal pretreatments …
