Lignocellulosic nanofibers from triticale straw : the influence of hemicelluloses and lignin in their production and properties
(Elsevier, 2017-05-01)
The present work aims to determine the influence of hemicellulose and lignin content in the production of lignocellulosic nanofibers (LCNF) from triticale straws. Triticale straws were digested and then gradually delignified, ...
Second-generation bioethanol from industrial wood waste of South American species
(Green Wave Publishing of Canada, 2017-09-01)
There is a global interest in replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy. The present review evaluates the significance of South-American wood industrial wastes for bioethanol production. Four countries have ...
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 ...
Lignocellulosics as sustainable resources for production of bioplastics : a review
(Elsevier, 2017-09-20)
The bio-based economy requires a sustainable utilization of bioresources for production of a range of products, including pulp, paper, chemicals, biofuel and bioplastics. Currently, various types of bioplastics are produced ...
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 ...
Techno‐economic assessment of carboxylic acids, furfural, and pellet production in a pine sawdust biorefinery
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2018-08-19)
Pine sawdust is an important lignocellulosic waste from the primary industrialization of wood, and its valorization using the biorefinery concept could add new value chains to the forest industry. Compared with large‐scale ...
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 ...
Key role of anionic trash catching system on the efficiency of lignocellulose nanofibers in industrial recycled slurries
(Springer, 2017-11-29)
The processing of recycled paper into packaging materials is becoming one of the most important activities of paper mills. However, the use of recycled paper as a raw material causes an important increase of dissolved ...
Removal of recalcitrant organic compounds from an industrial complex effluent by heterogeneous Fenton-type treatment
(Wiley, 2016-12-30)
Because of their chemical complexity, industrial chemi-mechanical pulping effluents are evaporated and burned, in spite of the high associated cost involved in these processes. The aim of this study was to remove recalcitrant ...
Studies on lignin extraction from rice husk by a soda-ethanol treatment : kinetics, separation, and characterization of products
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)
The delignification kinetics of lignocellulosic waste is an important tool for the study of the technical-economic viability of biorefinery processes. The aim of this work was to study the kinetic of lignin extraction by ...
