Literature review of physical and chemical pretreatment processes for lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review was performed within the BioSynergy project (2007-2010), where the overall goal was to convert raw lignocellulosic biomass into its composing sugars and lignin in a market competitive and environmentally sustainable way.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the properties of washed straw
TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of troublesome elements in biomass to reduce slagging and fouling in furnaces and other thermal conversion systems was tested by washing (leaching) the fuel with water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of Inorganic Constituents from Leached Biomass during Thermal Conversion
David C. Dayton,Bryan M. Jenkins,Scott Q. Turn,Robert R. Bakker,RB Williams,D Belle-Oudry,LM Hill +6 more
TL;DR: Leaching of inorganic materials has recently been shown to substantially improve the combustion properties of biomass fuels, especially straw but including other herbaceous and woody fuels as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that leaching with water removes large fractions of alkali metals (typically > 80% of potassium and sodium) and chlorine (>90%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of acetone, butanol, and ethanol from biomass of the green seaweed Ulva lactuca.
Hetty van der Wal,B.L.H.M. Sperber,Bwee Houweling-Tan,Robert R. Bakker,Willem A. Brandenburg,Ana M. López-Contreras +5 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate the great potential of U. lactuca as feedstock for fermentation and in control cultures of C. beijerinckii on rhamnose and glucose, 1,2 propanediol was the main fermentation product (9.7 g/L).
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient hydrogen production from the lignocellulosic energy crop Miscanthus by the extreme thermophilic bacteria Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus and Thermotoga neapolitana
Truus de Vrije,Robert R. Bakker,Miriam A. W. Budde,Man H Lai,Astrid E. Mars,Pieternel A. M. Claassen +5 more
TL;DR: Efficient hydrogen production in combination with simultaneous and complete utilization of all saccharides has been obtained during the growth of thermophilic bacteria on hydrolysate of the lignocellulosic feedstock Miscanthus.
