Bioconversion of lignocellulose forms the basis for renewable, advanced biofuels, and
bioproducts. Mechanisms of hydrolysis of cellulose by cellulases have been actively studied …

Traditional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are increasingly regarded as water
resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), reflecting the value of water, nutrients, energy and …

The aim of this work was to demonstrate the feasibility of second-generation bioethanol
production using for the first time a sawmill mixed feedstock comprising four softwood …

The understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics has considerably advanced in
recent years. It was previously assumed that most SOM consisted of recalcitrant compounds …

In the field of polymer reaction engineering, accurately simulating polymer degradation
process is beneficial to understand the reaction kinetics, which guides the design, operation …

The environmental consequences of plastic waste are driving research into many chemical
and catalytic recycling strategies. The isomerizing ethenolysis strategy for polyethylene …

The resolution of the population balance equation (PBE) using moment-based methods
offers a high computational efficiency however, information on the time evolution of the …

Enzymatic chain-end depolymerization is commonly employed for the transformation of
biomass into important products. To date, investigation on the validity of the rate kernel …

Fine control of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is challenging due to complex process
dynamics. Rate of conversion of cellulose to valuable monomeric products is often …

In this study, for the first time we demonstrated that both random and chain‐end scissions of
polymers can be simulated on a unified Fixed Pivot (FP) framework through an elegant …
