Supercritical water gasification of lignin solution produced by steam explosion process on Arundo Donax after alkaline extraction

TL;DR: In this article, the lignin gasification by using water in supercritical was studied, and the results showed that after using lignins after alkaline extraction, syngas with a higher heating value (HHV) greater than 40 MJ/kg without CO2, mainly composed by hydrogen and methane, was obtained.

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.

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.
