Multi-objective optimization of a sugarcane biorefinery for integrated ethanol and methanol production

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Emanuela Peduzzi, Priscilla Caliandro, Sandro Onorati

The present study evaluates a sugarcane biorefinery producing ethanol through juice fermentation and methanol via gasification of sugarcane lignocellulosic residues and liquid fuel synthesis. Two technologies of gasification named entrained flow and circul ...

Extraction of carotenoids from Chlorella vulgaris using green solvents and syngas production from residual biomass

Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Shivom Sharma, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Dominik Refardt

A combined process for carotenoids extraction and efficient bioenergy recovery from the wet microalgae biomass is proposed. High added-value products could thus be extracted prior a hydrothermal gasification of the algal biomass into synthetic natural gas. ...

Frequency-domain technique to measure the inertial response of forward stimulated Brillouin scattering for acoustic impedance sensing

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

A frequency-domain method is proposed to measure the inertial response of forward stimulated Brillouin scattering, so that the acoustic impedance of a liquid medium outside an uncoated 30 m standard single-mode fibre can be sensed. The proposed technique o ...
