Elevated Biogas Production From the Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Farmhouse Waste: Insight Into the Process Performance and Kinetics

TL;DR: The upshots from the experiments connoted that ternary digestion with cow manure:food waste:garden waste mixing ratio of 40:50:10 yielded higher biogas amount and the kinetics’ results showed quite good congruence with the experimental study.

Enhanced biogas production from the anaerobic batch treatment of banana peels

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of organic loading (OL) and cow manure (CM) addition on AD performance when treating banana peel waste (BPW) and found that the daily biogas yield showed no clear interdependence with OL or CM content.

Efficient pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with high recovery of solid lignin and fermentable sugars using Fenton reaction in a mixed solvent

TL;DR: A modified Fenton pretreatment of corncob in DMSO/water provides the opportunity to substantially maximize the carbohydrate and solid lignin recovery of biomass with a comparatively green process, such that the efficiency of biorefinery as well as the bioethanol production process can be improved.

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

Biomass recalcitrance: engineering plants and enzymes for biofuels production.

TL;DR: Here, the natural resistance of plant cell walls to microbial and enzymatic deconstruction is considered, collectively known as “biomass recalcitrance,” which is largely responsible for the high cost of lignocellulose conversion.

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels

TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
