Lignin depolymerisation strategies: towards valuable chemicals and fuels

Chunping Xu, +3 more
- 20 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: The present contribution aims to provide an overview of key advances in the field of lignin depolymerisation, and protocols and technologies will be discussed as well as critically evaluated in terms of possibilities and potential for further industrial implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical pretreatments of lignocellulosic biomass: towards facile and environmentally sound technologies for biofuels production

Abdellatif Barakat, +5 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors surveyed a substantial amount of previous work in mechanical fractionation or pretreatments of a variety of lignocellulosic biomasses; these include numerous milling schemes and extrusions, and their impacts on the physical and physicochemical properties of the lignosic matrix (crystallinity, surface area, particle size, etc).
Journal ArticleDOI

Valorisation of corncob residues to functionalised porous carbonaceous materials for the simultaneous esterification/transesterification of waste oils

Rick A. D. Arancon, +4 more
- 11 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, porous carbonaceous materials prepared from controlled pyrolysis of corncobs were found to provide excellent activities in the simultaneous esterification/transesterification of highly acidic waste oils to biodiesel-like mixtures.
