Cyclic Freeze-thaw Treatment on Enzymatic Saccharification of Lignocellulose (Wheat Straw) and its Synergism Effect with Alkali
Freeze-thaw pretreatment (FT) is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly method for treating lignocellulose. After cyclic FT treatment, the cellulose conversion rate of wheat straw increased by 67.35% comp...

Biodiesel Production Using MgO–CaO Catalysts via Transesterification of Soybean Oil: Effect of MgO Addition and Insights of Catalyst Deactivation
The catalytic transesterification of vegetable oil over heterogeneous catalysts is an effective approach for biodiesel production. To elucidate the role of MgO in catalyzing this reaction, several CaO-MgO cata...

Investigating the effect of compaction on the anaerobic digestion process of rice straw
This study aims to evaluate the effects of compaction on the anaerobic biodegradability of straw. In the study, compaction tests were carried out at different applied pressures, i.e., 0 (CK), 277 (T1), 555 (T2...

Influence of Phosphorus-Based Additives on Potassium Transformation During Pyrolysis and Ash Characteristics of Biochar Briquettes
Densification and pyrolysis are two methods to upgrade biomass. To avoid ash fusion problems, NH4H2PO4 and Ca(H2PO4)2 were chosen as additives to mix with maize straw to produce biochar briquettes. Potassium tran...

Solid-State NMR Investigation of Bio-chars Produced from Biomass Components and Whole Biomasses
Bio-char is a by-product from thermochemical treatment of biomass and has been identified as an energy condensed product with a comparable heating value as commercial coal. However, the combustion of such soli...

The Synergic Relationship Between Xylan Removal and Enhanced Cellulose Digestibility for Bioethanol Production: Reactive Area, Crystallinity, and Inhibitation
Hemicellulosic fraction is thought to act as a barrier, preventing the access of cellulase to cellulose. The impact of xylan removal, by both of the chemical and biological processes, on the cellulose accessib...
