The disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) in deep stable geological formations is accepted at an international level to be the most promising option for its long-term management. The supercontainer concept is currently being considered as the Belgian reference design, wherein the waste will be stored in geological stable clay formations. T...

As a cheap, biodegradable, and nontoxic chemical, choline chloride (ChCl) is widely used in animal feed. In this study, acid and alkali catalyzed ChCl pretreatments of corn stover (CS) were investigated. Compared with single aqueous ChCl pretreatment, H2SO4 acidified aqueous ChCl pretreatment was more effective in removing lignin (69.5%) and xylan ...

Expensive cellulase is one of the major obstacles hinders large-scale biorefining of lignocellulosic biomass. The cheap and biodegradable additives sophorolipid and whey protein were found to boost enzymatic hydrolysis, their mechanisms were clarified firstly in this study. Results showed that the effects of these additives on enhancing enzymatic h...

Catalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have garnered great attention as the key character in metal-air batteries. Herein, we developed a superior nonprecious bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst, fabricated through spatial confinement of Fe/Fe3C nanocrystals in pyridinic N and Fe-N-x rich carbon nanotubes (Fe/F...

Saccharification of sugarcane bagasse is one of the most important process for its conversion to high value biofuels and chemicals. In the present work, a sustainable hydrolysis method combined with catalytic pretreatment by magnetic carbon-based solid acid and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis were applied for the enhanced reducing sugar (xylose and...
