Journal ArticleDOI
Lime pretreatment of crop residues bagasse and wheat straw
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used lime (calcium hydroxide) as a pretreatment agent to enhance the enzymatic digestibility of two common crop residues: bagasse and wheat straw.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative lime pretreatment of high-lignin biomass: poplar wood and newspaper.
TL;DR: In this paper, the enzymes were used to enhance the enzymatic digestibility of two kinds of high-lignin biomass: poplar wood and newspaper, and the 3-d total sugar (glucose + xylose) conversion increased from 6 to 77% of raw total sugars.

Methods of biomass pretreatment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed methods for the pretreatment of a lignocellulose-containing biomass, which includes the addition of calcium hydroxide and water to the biomass to form a mixture, and subjecting the mixture to relatively high temperatures for a period of time sufficient to render the biomass amenable to digestion.

TL;DR: The MixAlco process is a patented technology that converts any biodegradable material into mixed alcohol fuels containing predominantly 2-propanol, but also higher alcohols up to 7-tridecanol, which has been proven at the laboratory scale.

Calcium hydroxide pretreatment of biomass
TL;DR: In this article, a process for lime recovery is developed, where lignocellulose-containing materials are treated with lime (calcium hydroxide) and water at a relatively high temperature and for a certain period of time under certain conditions.
