Pretreatment methods of lignocellulosic wastes into value-added products: recent advances and possibilities
Diego Batista Meneses,Gabriela Montes de Oca-Vásquez,José Vega-Baudrit,Mauricio Rojas-Álvarez,Joshua Corrales-Castillo,Luis C. Murillo-Araya +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of pretreatment methods that can be applied as an alternative to the usage of residual biomass is investigated, highlighting the efficiency of the processes as well as possible weaknesses, which are associated with high energy and reagent consumption, low yields, and possible secondary impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic hydrogen generation coupled to pollutant utilisation using carbon dots produced from biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show the synthesis of ultra-scalable and low-cost carbon nanodots from lignocellulosic waste, which when combined with a non-precious Ni-based co-catalyst, use visible light to drive H2 production in untreated river and sea water.
