Cotton stalk-derived hydrothermal carbon for methylene blue dye removal: investigation of the raw material plant tissues

TL;DR: In this paper, the plant tissue of residual cotton stalk (CS) was changed by part degradation of some components (hemicelluloses and lignin, for example) with the aid of acid/base (or both).
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth-coupled bioconversion of levulinic acid to butanone.

TL;DR: This work converted levulinic acid (LA), an established degradation product of lignocellulosic biomass, to butanone (a.k.a. methyl-ethyl ketone - MEK), a widely used industrial solvent, by feeding cells a non-sugar substrate, by-passing central metabolism, and linking a key metabolic step to generation of acetyl-CoA that is required for biomass and energy generation.

Features of promising technologies for pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.

TL;DR: This paper reviews process parameters and their fundamental modes of action for promising pretreatment methods and concludes that pretreatment processing conditions must be tailored to the specific chemical and structural composition of the various, and variable, sources of lignocellulosic biomass.

Cellulose: Fascinating Biopolymer and Sustainable Raw Material

TL;DR: The current knowledge in the structure and chemistry of cellulose, and in the development of innovative cellulose esters and ethers for coatings, films, membranes, building materials, drilling techniques, pharmaceuticals, and foodstuffs are assembled.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The path forward for biofuels and biomaterials

TL;DR: The integration of agroenergy crops and biorefinery manufacturing technologies offers the potential for the development of sustainable biopower and biomaterials that will lead to a new manufacturing paradigm.
