Fourier transformed near infrared (FT‐NIR) spectroscopy for the estimation of parameters in pretreated lignocellulosic materials for bioethanol production

TL;DR: In this article, Fourier transformed near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy and multivariate analysis for the cellulose crystallinity index (CrI), saccharification and ethanol yield, and glucan, hemicellulose and lignin content were developed using Eucalyptus globulus and Pinus radiata samples from different pretreatments.

Effect of the microfiltration phase on pervaporation of ethanol produced from banana residues

TL;DR: In this article, the use of microfiltration as a process of suspended solids separation in the pervaporation of bioethanol produced by banana culture residues was investigated, and it was observed that the reduction of the permeate flow rate, however, was also seen when the micro-filtration was employed, comparing to the centrifugation as well as to the binary mixture.
