To overcome the inherent complexity of lignocellulosic biomass and improve its biological conversion efficiency, the central composite surface response methodology was used to optimize the process variables (temperature, reaction time and liquid-to-solid ratio) in liquid hot water pretreatment for biomethane production from the anaerobic digestion ...

This study investigated the effect of particle size on the performance of anaerobic digestion of Hybrid Pennisetum. Hybrid Pennisetum was ground and sieved to provide different particle sizes between 0.180 and 1.000 mm. Characterization of the different particle sizes suggested that the composition of ground Hybrid Pennisetum Wltered-carbohydrate c...

BackgroundLignocellulosic biomass is a complex network of polymers making the cell walls of plants. It represents a feedstock of sustainable resources to be converted into fuels, chemicals and materials. Because of its complex architecture, lignocellulose is a recalcitrant material that necessitates some pretreatments and several types of catalysts...
Using maize stover as the biomass, the heat- and mass-transfer transients within the particle microstructure were studied with a spatial kinetic model, in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of real-time techniques. Voids were introduced into an idealized sphere to establish the kinetic model. The results indicated that particle size and p...

Here, the potential use of herbal residues of Akebia as feedstock for ethanol production is evaluated. Additionally, five deep eutectic solvents from hemicellulose-derived acids were prepared to overcome biomass recalcitrance. Reaction temperatures had more significant influences on solid loss and chemical composition than the molar ratios of choli...

Caffeoyl shikimate esterase (CSE) was recently shown to play an essential role in lignin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and later in Medicago truncatula. However, the general function of this enzyme was recently questioned by the apparent lack of CSE activity in lignifying tissues of different plant species. Here, we show that d...
