Mushroom cultivation and biogas production: A sustainable reuse of organic resources
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-06)
The industry of mushroom cultivation uses a wide variety of lignocellulosic waste and is considered a very efficient way to recycle agro-residues and to produce food. This activity generates tons of spent mushroom substrate ...
Sunflower seed hulls waste as a novel source of insecticidal product: Pyrolysis bio-oil bioactivity on insect pests of stored grains and products
(Elsevier, 2020-11-05)
The edible oil industry produces abundant sunflower seed hulls (SSH) as waste. Pyrolysis offers a sustainable method for producing high-value bioproducts from this lignocellulosic residue. This paper reports on the bioefficacy ...
Optimisation of xylanases production by two Cellulomonas strains and their use for biomass deconstruction
(Springer, 2021-05)
One of the main distinguishing features of bacteria belonging to the Cellulomonas genus is their ability to secrete multiple polysaccharide degrading enzymes. However, their application in biomass deconstruction still ...
Dissolving pulps by oxidation of the cellulosic fraction of lignocellulosic waste
(Editura Acad Romane, 2017-12)
The cellulosic fractions of Eucalyptus sp. sawdust pulp and of sugarcane bagasse pulp, which have been subjected to hydrothermal and alkaline treatments, were purified by oxidative means (oxygen and ozone followed by an ...
Kinetic analysis and thermodynamics properties of air/steam gasification of agricultural waste
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
The air/steam gasification of wood sawdust (SD), plum and olive pits (PP, OP) bio-wastes was studied using macro-thermogravimetric analysis at three heating rates (5, 10, 15K/min). Three stages were identified during ...
An energy-saving re-use strategy for the treatment of lignocellulosic biomass applied to the production of levulinc acid
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
A strategy for the re-use of spent liquors during the batch dilute acid treatment of lignocellulosic biomass was evaluated as an alternative to reduce the consumption of water and energy. Using the same spent liquor in the ...
Optimization of the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic residues by using radial basis functions modeling and particle swarm optimization
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2013-10)
The concentrations of glucose and total reducing sugars obtained by chemical hydrolysis of three different lignocellulosic feedstocks were maximized. Two response surface methodologies were applied to model the amount of ...
Fungal pretreatments improve the efficiency of saccharification of Panicum prionitis Ness biomass
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-06)
Second-generation bioethanol derived from native perennial grasses offers a promising alternative for biofuel, especially when the biomass avoids land-use competition for crop production. Panicum prionitis Ness is a native ...
Effect of nanofiber addition on the physical–mechanical properties of chemimechanical pulp handsheets for packaging
(Springer, 2020-05)
The effect of the addition of nanofibers on the physical mechanical properties of industrial chemimechanical pulps was evaluated. The nanofibers were obtained from two commercial pulps produced by traditional treatments ...
Polyelectrolyte complexes for assisting the application of lignocellulosic micro/nanofibers in papermaking
(Springer, 2018-08)
A novel procedure based on the addition of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) onto the pulp containing lignocellulosic micro/nanofibers (LCMNF) is presented. This procedure allows increasing paper strength avoiding an excessive ...
