Lignin is a major component of lignocellulosic biomass and as such, it is processed in
enormous amounts in the pulp and paper industry worldwide. In such industry it mainly …

Lignin, the second most abundant natural polymer, has emerged as a potential alternative
material to petroleum-based chemicals and renewable resource for the production of …

In this work, we address the optimal design of an integrated microalgae-based biorefinery
through the formulation of a mixed integer nonlinear programming model for the production …

Biorefineries are increasingly important commercial facilities for the production of biofuels,
biopower and various biomaterials from biomass with potentials to displace several existing …

Gasification processes convert carbon-containing material into syngas through chemical
reactions in the presence of gasifying agents such as air, oxygen, and steam. Syngas …

Cellulose is produced industrially by the kraft and sulfite processes. The evolution of these
technologies in biorefineries is driven by the need to obtain greater added value through the …

A biphasic pretreatment was adopted to disturb the recalcitrant structure of bamboo for
further enzymatic hydrolysis and to obtain easily valorized lignin by-product. The biphasic …

Methodologies for designing intensified processing units are necessary to enable the
industrial application of process intensification concepts. This article presents a ruled-based …

This work mechanistically investigated the influence of CO 2 in the thermo-chemical process
of microalgal biomass (Chlorella vulgaris and Microcystis aeruginosa) to achieve a fast …

We develop an integrated strategy for the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic
biomass. Cellulose and hemicellulose fractions are first hydrolyzed into sugars using a …
