A co-production of sugars, lignosulfonates, cellulose, and cellulose nanocrystals from ball-milled woods.
TL;DR: This study demonstrated the technical potential for the large-scale co-production of sugars, lignosulfonates, cellulose, and cellulose nanocrystals by ball-milled woods with two particle sizes and acid-hydrolyzed residues.

TL;DR: Proteomic characterization of total proteins eluted from residual substrate-bound proteins (RSBP), and cellulosomes secreted by Clostridium thermocellum B8 during growth in the presence of microcrystalline cellulose as a carbon source showed that the RSBP sample contains a wide variety of proteins, including those without a well-characterized role in plant cell wall degradation.

Steam explosion of crop straws improves the characteristics of biochar as a soil amendment
Xuejiao Chen,Qi-mei Lin,Qi-mei Lin,Muhammad Rizwan,Xiao-rong Zhao,Xiao-rong Zhao,Gui-tong Li,Gui-tong Li +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, five crop straws (wheat, rice, maize, oil-rape, and cotton) were first steam-exploded for 2 min at 210°C, 2.5 MPa and then pyrolyzed at 500°C for 2 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
African perspective on cellulosic ethanol production
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that research and development should highlight favorable pretreatment methods such as extrusion, steaming/boiling, and chemical methods employing lime, KOH and crude glycerol (from biodiesel production), as well as the development of crude enzyme complexes from local materials.
