Biomass production for bioenergy using marginal lands
Muhammad Aamer Mehmood,Muhammad Ibrahim,Umer Rashid,Muhammad Nawaz,Shafaqat Ali,Athar Hussain,Munazza Gull +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of marginal lands to produce ample amounts of biomass, also discusses the suitable crops for energy purpose, management practices of crop production on marginal lands and their economic and environmental perspectives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tween-80 is effective for enhancing steam-exploded biomass enzymatic saccharification and ethanol production by specifically lessening cellulase absorption with lignin in common reed.
Jin Wenxiang,Chen Ling,Meng Hu,Dan Sun,Dan Sun,Ao Li,Ying Li,Zhen Hu,Shiguang Zhou,Yuanyuan Tu,Tao Xia,Yanting Wang,Guosheng Xie,Yanbin Li,Baowei Bai,Liangcai Peng +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, eight physical and chemical pretreatments were compared in terms of their enhancements on biomass enzymatic saccharification in reed, and the steam-explosion pretreatment with 1% Tween-80 either blocked lignin absorbing with cellulases or disassociate hemicelluloses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of rice straw as alternate substrate for biobutanol production
TL;DR: In this paper, clostridial fermentation of stress assisted-acid hydrolyzed rice straw that exhibited a typical trend of acidogenesis followed by solventogenesis was studied, showing that 5% of rice straw solution released nearly 46% (w/w) (i.e. 23g l − 1 glucose for 50g L − 1 solution) glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioethanol production from mandarin (Citrus unshiu) peel waste using popping pretreatment
TL;DR: In this paper, a biomass popping pretreatment system using a fired burner and a horizontal cylinder rotating on an axis was designed to produce ethanol from mandarin peel (MP) waste.

Features of promising technologies for pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.
Nathan S. Mosier,Charles E. Wyman,Bruce E. Dale,Richard T. Elander,Y. Y. Lee,Mark T. Holtzapple,Michael R. Ladisch +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.
Ye Sun,Jiayang Cheng +1 more
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.

Supporting Online Material for: Ethanol Can Contribute To Energy and Environmental Goals
TL;DR: This article evaluated six representative analyses of fuel ethanol and found that current corn ethanol technologies are much less petroleum-intensive than gasoline but have greenhouse gas emissions similar to those of gasoline, and that large-scale use of ethanol for fuel will almost certainly require cellulosic technology.
