Pretreatment process is the key technological step in lignocellulose bioconversion into
biofuel owing to its robust molecular structure. This pivotal process can markedly affect the …

The sugarcane industry is one of the largest in the world and processes huge volumes of
biomass, especially for ethanol and sugar production. These processes also generate …

Biorefineries can upgrade waste lignocellulosic biomass (LB) into soluble (C5 and C6)
sugars that can be fermented into second‐generation (2G) ethanol‐based biofuels and a …

For around 100 years, the hydrothermal gasification, liquefaction, and carbonization has
been studied for conversion of biomass to valuable gas, liquid, and solid products …

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is the major by-product in sugar industry. To make profit out of this
undervalued residue, the FASTSUGARS process was proposed as a solution, combining …

The use of supercritical fluids is spreading more and more throughout the world. The interest
in them and their applications is clear from the increasing number of papers and patents in …

The production of biofuel from biomass is a viable option, due to the availability of biomass
and its renewable character. This work aims to explore the production of bio-jet fuel via …

The aim of this study is to assess the possibility of increasing ethanol production by
introducing the bagasse hydrolysis process into conventional distilleries. Simulations were …

Although biofuels are projected as promising alternative for non-renewable sources, the
current cost of producing fuel from biomass is higher than crude oil. The biorefinery, co …

Like in the first edition of this book (2013), this revised, reorganized, and updated chapter
aims to present the most recent trends and perspectives related to the extraction of natural …
