Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and kinetic modelling studies on the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of the water hyacinth plant to levulinic acid.
TL;DR: The LA yield as a function of the process conditions was modelled using a kinetic model originally developed for the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of cellulose and good agreement between the experimental and modelled data was obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass to Fuels: Upgrading of Flash Pyrolysis Oil by Reactive Distillation Using a High Boiling Alcohol and Acid Catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the upgrading of flash pyrolysis oil using an improved alcohol treatment method, which consists of treating pyrolynsis oil with a high boiling alcohol like n-butanol in the presence of a (solid) acid catalyst at 323-353 K under reduced pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Valorisation of Jatropha curcas L. plant parts : Nut shell conversion to fast pyrolysis oil
Robert Manurung,D. A. Z. Wever,J. Wildschut,R. H. Venderbosch,H. Hidayat,J.E.G. van Dam,E.J. Leijenhorst,Antonius Broekhuis,Hero J. Heeres +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, fast pyrolysis experiments were carried out to convert the nut shells of the Jatropha curcas L. (JCL) shrub, a plant producing a high quality plant oil that may be converted to biodiesel in good yields.
Journal Article
Bioconversion of Rice straw waste by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) : Optimal feed rate for biomass production
TL;DR: This study showed the possibility of production of insect larvae biomass as through bioconversion process of agricultural waste rich with lignocellulose and lowest waste reduction efficiency was recorded by larvae feed rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Higher Fatty Acid Starch Esters using Vinyl Laurate and Stearate as Reactants
Laura Junistia,Asaf Kleopas Sugih,Robert Manurung,Francesco Picchioni,Leon P. B. M. Janssen,Hero J. Heeres +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of long-chain fatty esters of corn starch (starch laurate and starch stearate) with a broad range in degree of substitution (DS = 0.24-2.96) was described.
