Bioconversion of pentose sugars to value added chemicals and fuels: Recent trends, challenges and possibilities

Edgard Gnansounou, Vinod Kumar

Most of the crop plants contain about 30% of hemicelluloses comprising D-xylose and D-arabinose. One of the major limitation for the use of pentose sugars is that high purity grade D-xylose and D-arabinose are yet to be produced as commodity chemicals. Res ...

Comparison of extraction techniques for product diversification in a supercritical water gasification-based sugarcane-wet microalgae biorefinery: Thermoeconomic and environmental analysis

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

This study presents a thermoeconomic and environmental assessment of the extraction of lipids and proteins from wet microalgal biomass in a 3G biorefinery by two different technologies: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and low-pressure solvent extracti ...

An “ideal lignin” facilitates full biomass utilization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Li Shuai, Yuan Li

Lignin, a major component of lignocellulosic biomass, is crucial to plant growth and development but is a major impediment to efficient biomass utilization in various processes. Valorizing lignin is increasingly realized as being essential. However, rapid ...

Protection Group Effects During α,γ-Diol Lignin Stabilization Promote High-Selectivity Monomer Production

Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Christopher Marc Hunston, Wu Lan

Protection groups were introduced during biomass pretreatment to stabilize lignin's α,γ-diol group during its extraction and prevent its condensation. Acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde stabilized the α,γ-diol without any aromatic ring alkylation, which sign ...

Transition of a South African sugar mill towards a biorefinery. A feasibility assessment

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon, Pavel Vaskan

The survival of the sugar industry in South Africa is under threat due to an unstable and low sugar price, high production cost and old infrastructure. At present, coal and sugarcane bagasse are used as fuels in an inefficient boiler to generate the heat a ...
