Utilization of olive tree branch cellulose in synthesis of hydroxypropyl carboxymethyl cellulose
TL;DR: The functionalization of cellulose extracted from olive tree branches is described by subjecting it to successive etherification reactions, hydroxypropylation and carboxymethylation and the best value suitable for water solubility was attained upon using the above optimum conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complementary effect of combined bacterial-chemical pretreatment to promote enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulose biomass.
TL;DR: In the complementary mechanism, the active sites produced by chemical cleavage facilitated the bioprocess and further enhanced saccharification and provides a novel foundation for designing a rational combination pretreatment.

Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Feedstocks
Antonio D. Moreno,Lisbeth Olsson +1 more
TL;DR: The main purpose of pretreatment is to break down the structure of lignin and/or to solubilize hemicellulose in order to improve the accessibility of cellulose towards hydrolytic enzymes.

Pre-treatment of corn stover, Cynara cardunculus L. stems and wheat straw by ethanol-water and diluted sulfuric acid: Comparison under different energy input conditions.
TL;DR: Under conditions of moderate-low energy inputs,EW pre-treatment yields better results than DSA with glucose yields in the range of 50-60% for EW pre-treated corn stover and cardoon stems; while wheat straw pulps reach up to 80%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin oxidation with an organic peroxide and subsequent aromatic ring opening.
TL;DR: The oxidation of an organosolv lignin with tert-butylhydroperoxide, initiated by titanium grafted into the lign in structure, was investigated and recognised that aromatic ring opening occurs under the given conditions and is catalysed by the grafted titanium.
