Discrimination between earthquakes and chemical explosions is a significant problem facing many regional seismic networks around the world. Both earthquakes and chemical explosions are sources of elastic waves; therefore, ...

Radiata pine chips (Pinus radiata) were pretreated by steam explosion, for the simultaneous production of ethanol and pulp. Ethanol was produced fr om the depolymerized hemicellulose fraction recovered after the explosion, ...

Plant fibers are excellent sources of biomacromolecules, but the extraction of these chemicals critically depends on pretreatments on the biomass. In this work, steam explosion followed by acetosolv or ethanosolv pulping ...

In this work, cellulose nanofibers were extracted from banana fibers via a steam explosion technique. The chemical composition, morphology and thermal properties of the nanofibers were characterized to investigate their ...

In this work, cellulose nanofibers were extracted from banana fibers via a steam explosion technique. The chemical composition, morphology and thermal properties of the nanofibers were characterized to investigate their ...

A highly selective, sensitive, and low-cost hybrid sensing platform is developed based on extraordinary properties of explosives in an ionic liquid and an integrated electrochemical and colorimetric approach.

This work was focused on the steam explosion pretreatment reproduction and alkaline delignification reactions on a pilot scale for the ethanol production, through different varieties of natural sugarcane bagasse, pretreated ...

In this study, the potential of the steam explosion (SE) method to produce high levels XOS from sugarcane bagasse, a xylan-rich hemicellulosic feedstock, was assessed. The effect of different operating conditions on XOS ...
