Ethanol Production from Wet-Exploded Wheat Straw Hydrolysate by Thermophilic Anaerobic Bacterium Thermoanaerobacter BG1L1 in a Continuous Immobilized Reactor
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the use of FBR configuration might be a viable approach for thermophilic anaerobic ethanol fermentation of wet-exploded wheat straw hydrolysate and has considerable potential to be a novel candidate for lignocellulose bioconversion into ethanol.

Continuous pH monitoring during pretreatment of yellow poplar wood sawdust by pressure cooking in water.
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous pH-monitoring system was developed to help characterize the trends in pH during pretreatment and to assist in the development of a base (2.0 M KOH) addition profile to help keep the pH within a specified range in order to reduce any catalytic degradation and the formation of any monosac-charide degradation products during pre-treatment.

Realistic approach for full-scale bioethanol production from lignocellulose: a review
TL;DR: In this article, the current status of bioethanol production including substrates, fermenting microorganisms and technology for a full-scale process development is reviewed, considering main drawbacks such as high substrate loadings, sugar recovery after pretreatment, tolerance to inhibitory compounds and xylose fermentation by yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of impregnation time and chip size on sugar yield in pretreatment of softwood for ethanol production.
TL;DR: Small differences in glucose yield after enzymatic hydrolysis showed that the overall glucose yield was slightly higher for the smaller chips, however, whether the increased energy demand and cost of size reduction is compensated for by the higher yield, requires techno-economical evaluations.
