Liquid-liquid equilibria of water + solutes (acetic acid/ acetol/furfural/guaiacol/methanol/phenol/propanal) + solvents (isopropyl acetate/toluene) ternary systems for pyrolysis oil fractionation
TL;DR: In this paper, liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) were investigated at atmospheric pressure and 298.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K between pyrolysis oil compounds in aqueous phase and organic solvents.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear regression model was established to define the relationship between carbon fiber mechanical properties and lignin structural characteristics, and it was shown that a higher β-O-4 content also promoted the electroconductivity of carbon fibers.

Integrated evaluation of wine lees valorization to produce value-added products
TL;DR: Wine lees valorization showed a better environmental profile throughout the entire life cycle, due to the fact that most of the operations performed are physical and do not involve a large consumption of electricity or chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symbiotic integration of bioprocesses to design a self-sustainable life supporting ecosystem in a circular economy framework.
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed overview on SSBE framework and its improvement in the contemporary era to achieve circular bioeconomy by means of effective resource recycling is presented, where the principles of BLSS could be integrated with waste fed biorefineries and solar energy to create a self-sustainable bioregenerative ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards controlling the reactivity of enzymes in mechanochemistry: inert surfaces protect β‐glucosidase activity during ball milling
TL;DR: It is shown how the activity of β-glucosidases, the enzymes responsible for the final step in the enzymatic conversion of cellulose to glucose, can be maintained and manipulated under mechanochemical conditions, either through an unexpected stabilization effect of inert surfaces, or by altering the enzyme equilibrium in the absence of bulk solvent.

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.

Fast pyrolysis processes for biomass
TL;DR: Fast pyrolysis for production of liquids has developed considerably since the first experiments in the late 1970s as mentioned in this paper, leading to significant advances in process development and a wide range of reactor configurations that have been developed to meet the stringent requirements for high yields of useful liquids, for use as a fuel in boilers, engines and turbines and as a source of chemical commodities.
