Journal ArticleDOI
Organosolv pretreatment of plant biomass for enhanced enzymatic saccharification
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between organosolv pretreatments utilizing broadly different classes of solvents (i.e., low boiling point, high boiling point and biphasic) is presented, with a focus on solvent recovery and formation of byproducts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Congo Red adsorption by ball-milled sugarcane bagasse
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of Congo Red (CR) by ball-milled sugarcane bagasse was evaluated in an aqueous batch system and the equilibrium isotherm fitted the Freundlich model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study on adsorption of two cationic dyes by milled sugarcane bagasse
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Basic Blue 9 (BB9) by sugarcane bagasse of different surface areas and found that BB9 was less sensitive to surface area change than RhB.
Journal ArticleDOI
The outlook of the production of advanced fuels and chemicals from integrated oil palm biomass biorefinery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed integrated biorefinery concepts via the integration of existing oil palm biomass biore-finery products with thermochemical process for upgrading the bioproducts into higher values products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse by acid-catalysed process in aqueous ionic liquid solutions.
TL;DR: The addition of water to ILs for pretreatment could significantly reduce IL solvent costs and allow for increased biomass loadings, making the pretreatment by ILs a more economic proposition.
