Sorption-Enhanced Steam Reforming of Ethanol: Thermodynamic Comparison of CO2 Sorbents
TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic analysis is performed with a Gibbs free energy minimization method to compare the conventional steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) process and sorption-enhanced SRE (SE-SRE), with three different sorbents, namely, CaO, Li2ZrO3, and hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTlc).

Potential of visible-near infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics for analysis of some constituents of coffee and banana residues.
TL;DR: NIR spectroscopy proved to be useful for chemical prediction of banana and coffee residues and can be used as a faster and more economical alternative to the standard methodologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-step, single-organism bioethanol production and bioconversion of lignocellulose waste materials by phlebioid fungal species.
TL;DR: Fungi of Phlebia grow on, convert and saccharify solid lignocellulose waste materials without pre-treatments resulting in accumulation of ethanol and organic acids, which will aid in applying fungal biotechnology for production of biofuels and biocompounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of sourcing enzymes from non-conventional fungi for metabolic engineering and biomass breakdown
TL;DR: Select classes of fungal enzymes that are currently in biotechnological use are discussed, and more basal, non-conventional fungi and their underexploited biomass-degrading mechanisms are explored as promising agents in the transition towards a bio-based society.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuel from rice straw
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of rice straw and its recent application in the production of bio-fuels, since biofuels act as a helping hand in minimizing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, renders energy security all over the globe and boosts the notion of sustainable development.
