The inclusion of a pretreatment step in anaerobic digestion processes increases the
digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass and enhances biogas yields by promoting lignin …

Solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD) has gained increasing attention in recent years,
especially for digesting lignocellulosic biomass. Compared to liquid anaerobic digestion (L …

Enzymatic hydrolysis is the unit operation in the lignocellulose conversion process that
utilizes enzymes to depolymerize lignocellulosic biomass. The saccharide components …

Background Steam explosion pretreatment has been examined in many studies for
enhancing the enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass and is currently the most …

Lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks (switchgrass, corn stover, wheat straw, yard waste,
leaves, waste paper, maple, and pine) were evaluated for methane production under liquid …

The influence of cellulose accessibility and protein loading on the efficiency of enzymatic
hydrolysis of steam pretreated Douglas-fir was assessed. It was apparent that the lignin …

Current biomass utilization processes do not make use of lignin beyond its heat value. Here
we report on a bimetallic Zn/Pd/C catalyst that converts lignin in intact lignocellulosic …

This work is devoted to study pre-treatment methodologies of wheat straw with 1-ethyl-3-
methylimidazolium acetate ([emim][CH3COO]) and subsequent fractionation to cellulose …

The sustainable utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as a renewable and abundant source
lies at the core of the emerging biobased economy for the production of fuels, materials, and …

Cellulase and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were added to Avicel cellulose and solids
containing 56% cellulose and 28% lignin from dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment of corn …
