Chapter 7 - Biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass—Current trends and future perspectives

For the production of bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass, pretreatment is an important step for breaking the chemical bond present in lignocelluloses. Among the different pretreatment strategies, biological pretreatment is found to be a pro ...

A review of the concepts, recent advances and niche applications of the (photo) Fenton process, beyond water/wastewater treatment: Surface functionalization, biomass treatment, combatting cancer and other medical uses

Stefanos Giannakis

The Fenton reaction was discovered over 120 years ago, yet our understanding of the complete reaction mechanism of the seemingly simple iron and hydrogen peroxide reaction (Fe + H2O2) remains unclear, thus limiting its full potential. In this work, the aim ...

Selectivity control during the single-step conversion of aliphatic carboxylic acids to linear olefins

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Jher Hau Yeap, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz

We have studied the single-step catalytic conversion of biomass-derived aliphatic carboxylic acids to linear olefins via tandem hydrogenation/dehydration reactions. Hexanoic acid was converted to a mixture of hexenes (92.0% selectivity) over silica–alumina ...

Thermo-economic analysis and multi-objective optimisation of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to Fischer-Tropsch fuels

François Maréchal, Guillaume Boissonnet, Emanuela Peduzzi

This paper addresses the techno-economic evaluation and optimisation of processes converting lignocellulosic biomass into liquid fuels, through the development of a suitable framework and the modelling and design of Biomass to Liquids (BTL) processes. In p ...

Biodiesel production from lipid of carbon dioxide sequestrating bacterium and lipase of psychrotolerant Pseudomonas sp ISTPL3 immobilized on biochar

Edgard Gnansounou, Neha Maheshwari

An extracellular lipase was purified and characterized from psychrotolerant bacterium Pseudomonas sp. ISTPL3 isolated from Pangong lake. Lipase was purified by sequential methods of ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chr ...

Direct Conversion of Mono- and Polysaccharides into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Ionic-Liquid Mixtures

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Zhaofu Fei, Ning Yan, Sviatlana Siankevich, Philip Gregory Jessop

Platform chemicals are usually derived from petrochemical feedstocks. A sustainable alternative commences with lignocellulosic biomass, a renewable feedstock, but one that is highly challenging to process. Ionic liquids (ILs) are able to solubilize biomass ...

Physical-biological interactions - implications for biogeochemistry, productivity, export, diversity and transport

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Isabel Blanca Sophie Kiefer

Analysis of chlorophyll-a map from remote sensing satellite data (MERIS) showed a consistent low concentration biomass in the middle of Lake Geneva for about two weeks in autumn 2009. A three dimensional hydrodynamic model (Delft3D-flow) validated with tem ...

Organic Solvent Effects in Biomass Conversion Reactions

Jeremy Luterbacher, Li Shuai

Transforming lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals has been intensely studied in recent years. A large amount of work has been dedicated to finding suitable solvent systems, which can improve the transformation of biomass into value-added chemic ...
