The design of biofuel processes is realised using a computer aided process system design methodology that aim at defining the type and the size of the technologies, the way they are interconnected and the way they are operated for a given socio-economical ...
Most biomass pretreatment processes for monosaccharide production are run at low-solid concentration (<10wt%) and use significant amounts of chemical catalysts. Biphasic CO 2-H 2O mixtures could provide a more sustainable pretreatment medium while using ...
Sustainably producing concentrated solutions of monosaccharides from biomass is a key challenge facing the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels or bioproducts. Most pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis processes are run at low-solid concentra ...
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 ...
Synthetic fuels, or synfuels, can be produced from gas, coal and biomass. The conversion of gas and coal is well established but lignocellulosic biomass conversion is slow to develop. This paper addresses the issue of the production cost of second generati ...
The present paper evaluated a sugarcane biorefinery producing ethanol, through the conventional process by sugars fermentation and methanol through bagasse and leaves gasification, hot cleaning and synthesis. The sugarcane biorefinery was modelled using fl ...
This review presents an overview of the initial targeted chemical processing stages for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to platform molecules that serve as intermediates for the production of carbon-based fuels and chemicals. We identify four classes ...
The thermo-environomic assessment of the industrial production of ammonia has been investigated in this project. Thermodynamic models for the ammonia synthesis were developed on the flowsheeting software Vali based on the techniques used at LENI. Several p ...
The proposal of SunCHem project is to produce methane from the hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgal biomass and recovery high-value products in a bio-refinery concept. In this sense the Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory of EPFL (LBE) has developing ...
Widespread production of biomass-derived fuels and chemicals will require cost-effective processes for breaking down cellulose and hemicellulose into their constituent sugars. Here, we report laboratory-scale production of soluble carbohydrates from corn s ...
