Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in the development of alkali and metal salt catalysed lignocellulosic pretreatment regimes: Potential for bioethanol production
TL;DR: Examination of the progress made in lignocellulosic pretreatment using alkali and metal salts for biomass pretreatment and bioethanol production highlights the challenges and future prospects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of biohydrogen inoculum development via a hybrid pH and microwave treatment technique – Semi pilot scale production assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the interactive effect of a hybrid pH and microwave pre-treatment on a mixed inoculum for bio-hydrogen production was investigated and two semi pilot scale-up processes were carried out in a 10L bioreactor initiated in batch mode with 7L working volume using the optimally pre-treated inoculum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of xylose and glucose production from sugarcane leaves (Saccharum officinarum) using hybrid pretreatment techniques and assessment for hydrogen generation at semi-pilot scale
TL;DR: In this article, the response surface methodology was used to optimize the hybrid pretreatment within the ranges of 4-10, 60-100, and 60-240 min for HCl concentration, temperature and process time respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biohydrogen process development on waste sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) leaves: Optimization of saccharification, hydrogen production and preliminary scale up
TL;DR: In this article, the optimum recovery of xylose and glucose from waste sorghum leaves using six Response Surface-based models was determined and the optimum physico-chemical set-points for hydrogen production from these fermentable sugars are determined and a preliminary scale up is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A two-stage modelling and optimization of biohydrogen production from a mixture of agro-municipal waste
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage modeling and optimization of bio-hydrogen production is reported, where a mixture design is used to determine the optimum proportions of bean husk (BH), corn stalk (CS), and organic fraction of solid municipal waste (OFSMW).
