Lignocellulosic biomass produced by several agroindustrial processes has become the most important source of green carbon able to integrate the development of a mode of production based on the biorefinery concept. The ...

The efficiency of unpressurized ozonolysis (O) and acid washing (A) was investigated as a simple pretreatment procedure to depolymerize sugarcane biomass for posterior enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic fermentation to ...

Modifications in sugarcane bagasse (SCB) from ozonolysis (O) NaOH (B) and ultrasound (U) (OBU) treatment for cellulosic ethanol production by enzymatic hydrolysis, were evaluated when increasing the exposure time of SCB ...

The present study, sugarcane straw residue (SCS) was submitted to a combination of mild alkaline pretreatment and ozone cycles in a rotary reactor aiming to obtain fermentable sugars. The SCS exposed to short ozone cycles ...

In the present study, sugarcane straw residue (SCS) is used to generate fermentable sugars. Impregnation in different media and ozonolysis were combined for SCS treatment. The best results were obtained for the basic medium ...

Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was treated in three stages using ozone oxidation (O), washing in an alkaline medium (B) and ultrasonic irradiation (U). The impact of each pretreatment stage on the physical structure of the SCB ...

The end-group-differentiating ozonolysis concept is discussed, with an emphasis on norbornene systems. Different remote functional groups in endo positions in norbornene derivatives are able to direct the primary ozonide ...

A new simple method for determination of ozone in ambient air is presented. The reaction employed is based on the known ozonolysis of indigo dye. The indigotrisulfonate molecule contains one carbon-carbon double bond (C ...

The effect of pH on the performance of the ozonolysis stage in pulp production was evaluated for conventional and acid treated brown and oxygen delignified eucalyptus kraft pulps. The objective was to determine separately ...
