The economy of the production of lignocellulosic ethanol could be supported by the simultaneous use of different components of the biomass other than sugars. Among these, protein is present at high concentration in leaves and is a candidate for different p ...
In the present work, two pretreatment techniques using either dilute acid (H2SO4) or dilute alkali (NaOH) have been compared for producing bioethanol from Empty Fruit Bunches (EFBs) from oil palm tree, a relevant feedstock for tropical countries. Treatment ...
The main aim of this study was to analyze dilute acid pretreatment for the Douglas fir wood in order to improve the efficiency of hydrolysis with an ultimate aim to produce bioethanol. Compositional analysis of the untreated Douglas fir biomass revealed th ...
In this laboratory study a multidiagnostic experimental approach including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption of 1 to 2 mu m thick polycrystalline ice films, residual gas mass spectrometry (MS) and total pressure measurement were employed. Both a ...
Face to the increasing demand for energy, the declining availability of fossil fuels and the periodical tensions in the geopolitical context of oil-producing countries have raised serious concerns in the governments worldwide as well as in the public opini ...
