Oil is the main raw material currently used for fuel production. Petroleum is a non-renewable source of energy and causes considerable quantities of pollutants into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide, ...

In this work data of hydrolysis of soybean hull and straw and data related to sugar fermentation and distillation were collected in order to enable energy analysis for bioethanol production. For hydrolysis, a multipurpose ...

The tough lovegrass (Eragrostis plana Nees) is an invasive grass native to South Africa, arrived in Brazil in the 1950s, had its first record of occurrence in Rio Grande do Sul. There are few papers that report on the ...

In this work, heat transfer calculations and temperature profiles were evaluated in a 316L (50 mL) stainless steel reactor used for hydrolysis of agricultural biomass using high pressure water. The calculations were necessary ...

In this work, technologies to produce second-generation ethanol were researched, which is considered one of the most promising alternatives for generating energy from non-fossil sources. One of the processes used to obtain ...

In this research, the rice husks were submitted to pretreatments with deep eutectic solvents in order to enrich the cellulose content and reduce the lignin contents. Four mixtures of deep eutectic solvents were evaluated, ...

In this study, different pecan biomasses, such as husks, leaves, stalks and shells were submitted to hydrolysis by subcritical water (SWH), which resulted in a hydrolyzed solution rich in reducing sugars. The assays were ...

In this research, coproducts from rice harvesting and manufacturing, such as straw and husks, were submitted to subcritical water hydrolysis in order to obtain a hydrolyzed liquid containing fermentable sugars and a solid ...

In this research, the saccharine sorghum bagasse was submitted to a pre-treatment with an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [Bmim] Cl in order to evaluate the effect on the undissolved solid after the pre-treatment ...
