Journal ArticleDOI
Dilute acid pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification and fermentation of wheat straw to ethanol
TL;DR: In this article, dilute acid pretreatment at varied temperature and enzymatic saccharification were evaluated for conversion of wheat straw cellulose and hemicellulose to monomeric sugars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria engineered for fuel ethanol production: current status.
TL;DR: The lack of industrially suitable microorganisms for converting biomass into fuel ethanol has traditionally been cited as a major technical roadblock to developing a bioethanol industry, but in the last two decades, numerous microorganisms have been engineered to selectively produce ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy-efficient recovery of butanol from model solutions and fermentation broth by adsorption.
TL;DR: This article discusses the separation of butanol from aqueous solutions and/or fermentation broth by adsorption, also known as acetone butanol ethanol (ABE) or solvent fermentation, and use of silicalite appears to be the more attractive as it can be used to concentratebutanol from dilute solutions and results in complete desorption ofbutanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of butanol (a biofuel) from agricultural residues: Part I – Use of barley straw hydrolysate☆
TL;DR: In this article, dilute sulfuric acid barley straw hydrolysate (BSH; undiluted/untreated) by Clostridium beijerinckii P260 resulted in the production of 7.09−gL−1 ABE (acetone butanol ethanol), an ABE yield of 0.33, and productivity of 1.10−g−1−1h−1.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Polymeric sugars, crude protein, crude oil and ash contents of DDGS and wet distillers' grains were accurately and reproducibly determined by the compositional analysis procedure described in this paper.
