The increasing expansion of agricultural activities have resulted in an unending production
of agricultural waste which constitutes environmental nuisance, if not properly disposed. In …

Biogas obtained from organic remains entails a developed technology and an appreciable
methane yield, but its use may not be sustainable. The potential methane yield of various …

This research evaluated biogas production in batch and UASB reactors from pilot-scale acid
catalysed steam pretreated and enzymatic hydrolysed wheat straw. The results showed that …

Grass silage is an excellent feedstock for biofuel production, however, the recalcitrant
cellulosic structure may limit its biodegradability. In this study, the effect of acid pre-treatment …

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is necessary to enhance the hydrolysis, which is the
rate-limiting step in biogas production. Laccase and versatile peroxidase are enzymes …

Anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic waste is considered to be an efficient way to answer
present-day energy crisis and environmental challenges. However, the recalcitrance of …

This study evaluated the effect of steam explosion on the chemical composition and
biomethane potential of corn stover using temperatures ranging between 140 and 220° C …

Organosolv pretreatment was used to improve solid‐state anaerobic digestion (SSAD) for
methane production from three different lignocellulosic substrates (hardwood elm, softwood …

The aim of this laboratory-scale study was to investigate the long-term anaerobic
fermentation of an extremely sour substrate, an energy crop, for continuous production of …

The impact of various phenolic compounds, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid and 4-
hydroxybenzoic acid on anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic biomass (hemp straw and …
