Oil-based biorefineries play a crucial role in the production of key platform chemicals that can be generated via biotechnological processes instead of a petrochemical route. This work focuses on the latex of the fruit of ...

In this work, we formulate a nonlinear programming model for the design of an integrated microalgae based biorefinery for the production of biodiesel and value added co-products which depend on the particular microalgae ...

In the last 10 years ecuador has had an important development in the field of energy, from a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels, as well as the incorporation of biomass in its primary energy matrix. So, bioenergy ...

Lignin from pre-treated sugarcane bagasse was sulfomethylated to overcome its high hydrophobicity (Lig-S) and tested at different concentrations as an emulsifier for stabilizing oil-in-water nanoemulsions. The average ...

This work aims, firstly, to present a bibliographic review on circular bioeconomy and biorefineries. The circular economy seeks to be an alternative to the linear economy, its objective is to minimize single-use products, ...

This research was aimed to evaluate the design of biorefineries from fruits and its wastes. Valuable compounds such as ethanol, xylitol, oil and extracts containing phenolic compounds with antioxidant capacity were obtained ...

This Editorial deals with the current critical situation reached by high standard technology based on petroleum for energy and materials. It is resumed the advance of chemistry, mainly petrochemistry and organic synthesis, ...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) and palm tree (Elaeis guianeensis) are crops with high biofuel yields, 7.6 m(3) ha (1) y(-)1 of ethanol and 4 Mg ha(-1) y(-1) of oil, respectively. The joint production of these crops enhances ...
