Optimization of the soda-ethanol delignification stage for a rice husk biorefinery
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)
The aim of this work was to optimize the delignification of the hemicelluloses-free fraction of rice husk to obtain fractions of lignin, cellulose, and inorganics, which could be valorized in the context of the rice husk ...
Hemicellulose extraction from slash pine sawdust by steam explosion with sulfuric acid
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
One of the main obstacles to the development of advanced forest biorefineries is the optimal fractionation of the plant biomass. The aim of this work was to design a two-stage process for the fractionation of slash pine ...
Hydrothermal treatments applied to agro- and forest- industrial waste to produce high added-value compounds
(North Carolina State University. Department of Wood and Paper Science, 2017-01-01)
Agro- and forest-industrial wastes are abundant and low cost sources of carbohydrates and phenolic compounds, which can be converted into biofuels, biomaterials, and high added-value compounds by different pathways in small ...
Dissolving pulps by oxidation of the cellulosic fraction of lignocellulosic waste
(Editura Acad Romane, 2017-12-01)
Cellulosic fractions of Eucalyptus sp. sawdust pulp and of sugarcane bagasse pulp, which had been subjected to hydrothermal and alkaline treatments, were purified by oxidative means (oxygen and ozone, followed by an alkaline ...
