TL;DR: In this paper, the physical properties of four types of biomass feedstocks, including corn stover, wheat straw, and big bluestem, were studied. And the effect of moisture content on bulk density, true density, and durability of the biomass feedstock was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transforming biomass conversion with ionic liquids: process intensification and the development of a high-gravity, one-pot process for the production of cellulosic ethanol
Feng Xu,Feng Xu,Jian Sun,Jian Sun,N. V. S. N. Murthy Konda,Jian Shi,Jian Shi,Tanmoy Dutta,Tanmoy Dutta,Corinne D. Scown,Blake A. Simmons,Blake A. Simmons,Seema Singh,Seema Singh +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high gravity biomass processing with a one-pot conversion technology that includes ionic liquid pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, and yeast fermentation was developed for the production of concentrated fermentable sugars and high-titer cellulosic ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-pot integrated biofuel production using low-cost biocompatible protic ionic liquids
Jian Sun,Jian Sun,N. V. S. N. Murthy Konda,N. V. S. N. Murthy Konda,Ramakrishnan Parthasarathi,Ramakrishnan Parthasarathi,Tanmoy Dutta,Tanmoy Dutta,Marat Valiev,Feng Xu,Feng Xu,Blake A. Simmons,Blake A. Simmons,Seema Singh,Seema Singh +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that a one-pot integrated biofuel production is enabled by a low cost (∼$1 per kg) and biocompatible protic IL (PIL), ethanolamine acetate, without pH adjustments, water-wash and solid-liquid separations.
