ΜΟΝΤΕΛΟΠΟΙΗΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΠΥΡΟΛΥΣΗΣ ΛΙΓΝΟΚΥΤΤΑΡΙΚΩΝ ΥΛΙΚΩΝ
THE PYROLYSIS OF VARIOUS LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIALS WAS STUDIED IN ORDER TO MODELIZE THE KINETICS OF BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS AS ALSO TRANSPORT PHENOMENA. MODELLING WAS BASED ON EXPERIMENTAL DATA OBTAINED BY MEANS OF THERMAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES. THE MODEL OF INTERMEDIATE STEP COMPOSITION …

Effects of Alkaline Hydrogen-Peroxide Treatment of Crop Residues on Cell Wall Carbohydrate Utilization by Ruminants (Lignocellulose)
… could be removed by chemical treatment. Treating lignocellulosic materials with an alkaline (pH 11.5) solution of hydrogen peroxide (.26 g hydrogen peroxide per g lignocellulosic material; AHP) increased the ability of ruminal microbes to colonize wheat straw (WS) as measured using scanning …

A computational study of acidic Ionic Liquids for cellobiose hydrolysis in ionic liquids
… and pressures to extract cellulose from lignocellulosic material and strong acids catalysts (pKa < −3.2). Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) provide potentially environmentally friendly alternative. It has been shown that ILs can dissolve cellulose under relatively benign conditions …

High-performance liquid chromatographic methods for quantitative assessment of degradation products and extractives in pretreated lignocellulose.
… motivated research into renewable fuels from lignocellulosic biomass. Among energy alternatives, biomass-derived ethanol represents one of the more promising commodities for long-term sustainability of transportation fuels. Herbaceous agricultural residues, such as corn stover, represent a …

The structure and mechanical behavior of bamboo and bamboo products
Bamboo is a unique lignocellulosic material with considerable potential in sustainable construction. Structural bamboo products are analogous to wood products, such as oriented strand board (OSB), but composed primarily of bamboo elements, as opposed to wood elements. Such products could extend the …

¹³C-metabolic flux analysis of recombinant yeasts for biofuels applications
… are fermentation of sugars derived from "woody," lignocellulosic biomass and production of fuels from volatile fatty acids (VFAs) such as acetate, which can be produced by fermentation of organics in municipal solid waste and sewage or syngas. The production of biofuels from lignocellulosic …

Lignin Transformation and Characterization of Pyrolytic Products
<p>Lignocellulosic materials derived from plants have the ability to serve as feedstocks in place of depleting petroleum and coal for production of fuels and chemicals. Lignin forms about 30% of lignocellulosic material, and is the second most abundant non-fossil organic carbon source in the …

Steam Explosion Pretreatment of Cotton Gin Waste for Fuel Ethanol Production
… and cotton fiber, and is considered to be a lignocellulosic material. The three main chemical constituents are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose and hemicellulose are polysaccharides of primarily fermentable sugars, glucose and xylose respectively. Hemicellulose also includes …

Energy valorization of agro-industrial wastes and sweet sorghum for the production of gaseous biofuels through anaerobic digestion
… On the other hand, sweet sorghum as a lignocellulosic material represents an interesting substrate for biofuels production due to its structure and composition. Anaerobic co-digestion experiments using different mixtures of agro-industrial wastes were performed in a two-stage system …

Compositional analysis and classification of Miscanthus using Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy
… C4 grass species that is a high yielding lignocellulosic material for energy and fiber production. The cellulose and hemicellulose fractions of Miscanthus can be converted into energy and chemicals through biological conversion. Since only a fraction of the biomass can be converted into …

Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for efficient ethanol production from pentose sugars
… that of converting plant-derived lignocellulosic material into biofuels. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker’s yeast, is considered one of the most promising organisms for ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstock. Unfortunately, pentose sugars, which constitute …

Evaluating the potential for improving anaerobic digestion of cellulosic waste via routine bioaugmentation and alkaline pretreatment
… sweet corn processing, which have a significant lignocellulosic fraction as well as some starch from the base of the kernels. The two-phase anaerobic digestion process was proposed as one component of a larger integrated anaerobic/aerobic waste treatment process in which four co-products would be …
