Journal ArticleDOI
Bioconversion of forest products industry waste cellulosics to fuel ethanol: a review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coagulation and precipitation of a mechanical pulping effluent—I. Removal of carbon, colour and turbidity
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of metal coagulant concentration, effluent dilution and pH on the removal of total carbon, colour and turbidity from a combined bleached chemithermomechanical/thermOMEchanical (BCTMP/TMP) effluent were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of surfactants on cellulose hydrolysis
TL;DR: Sophorolipid had the greatest effect on cellulose hydrolysis when it was present from the beginning of the experiment and when the enzyme/cellulose ratio was low.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction and hydrolysis of levoglucosan from pyrolysis oil
TL;DR: This research investigated the extraction of levoglucosan from pyrolysis oil via phase separation, the acid-hydrolyses of the levoglucaosan into glucose, and the subsequent fermentation of this hydrolysate into ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of inhibitory compounds found in biomass hydrolysates on growth and xylose fermentation by a genetically engineered strain of S. cerevisiae
TL;DR: The effect of inhibitors on the recombinant xylose fermenting strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae 259ST was compared to three reference strains and was found to be as hardy as the reference strains towards acetic acid, ammonium, furfural, and osmotic effects, which are inhibitory compounds in SSL.
