The type of feedstock and pyrolysis temperature are the main reasons affecting the properties of the resulting biochar. Therefore, this paper investigates the effects of different feedstocks (peanut shell, corn straw and soybean straw) and different pyrolysis temperatures (300, 450 and 600 ℃) on the structural morphology and elemental composition o...

Straw biorefinery offers economical and sustainable production of chemicals. The merits of cell immobilization technology have become the key technology to meet d -lactic acid production from non- detoxified corn stover. In this paper, Low acyl gellan gum (LA-GAGR) was employed first time for Lactobacillus bulgaricus T15 immobilization and applied ...

• The feasibility of using black liquor in compost was proved for the first time. • Black liquor promote composting process via activating indigenous microorganisms. • Established an operational framework of black liquor/microbial inoculation compost.
Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant source of renewable biomass and is seen as a high-potential replacement for petroleum-based resources. The conversion technologies to advanced biofuels are still at a low maturity level, thus allowing for future cost reductions through technological learning. This fact is barely considered in state-of-th...
Yarrowia lipolytica CGMCC 2.1506 was studied for tailored production of citric acid and mannitol by co-utilization of glucose and glycerol as carbon sources. Firstly, optimal cultivation conditions for producing the two products were determined using synthetic (SYN) media. The determined conditions were further applied and verified by Y. lipolytica...

Highly integrated processes are crucial for the commercial success of microbial lipid production from low-cost substrates. Here, combination of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of corn stover with consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of cassava starch by Lipomyces starkeyi was firstly developed as a novel strategy for lipid producti...
