Nitrogen Sources Screening for Ethanol Production Using Carob Industrial Wastes
TL;DR: Simulation studies, with experimental data using SuperPro Design software, have shown that the bioethanol production biorefinery from carob wastes could be a very promising way to the valorization of an endogenous resource, with a competitive cost.

Production of levulinic acid from sugarcane bagasse
TL;DR: In this article, the academic requirements for the masters in applied sciences (Chemistry), Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016, were fulfilled in fulfilment of the requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in response to synergetic inhibition during bioethanol production
TL;DR: In this study different combinations of inhibitors (acetic acid, formic acid and vanillin) were considered to mimic realistic fermentation conditions during bioethanol production; ethanol yield and cell viability were then concurrently measured over a period of 48 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Screen Size on Biochemical Conversion of Big Bluestem Biomass for Biofuel Production
TL;DR: It was found that using a larger screen size saved energy in biomass size reduction on a knife mill, and particles produced with larger screen sizes achieved higher cellulose recovery rate after pretreatment, higher enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, and higher total sugar yield.
