Commercial mushrooms are cultivated on lignocellulose wastes, such as corncob, saw dust,
straw and wood chips. Following the rapidly increasing global mushroom production, the …

Due to the nutritional values and functional bioactivities of mushrooms, the global market
value of the edible mushroom industry has been growing steadily. However, the production …

BACKGROUND Spent mushroom substrate (SMS), largely produced as an agriculture waste
from mushroom cultivation, was transformed into biochar via microwave vacuum pyrolysis …

The aim of the paper was to summarize and discuss current research trends in biomass
thermal treatment (torrefaction process). Quantitative analyses were carried out, in which the …

Commercial cultivation of edible mushrooms utilizes a large amount of lignocellulosic
material as a substrate. After harvest, the leftover substrate, referred to as a spent mushroom …

The reuse of biomass waste is conducive to the recovery of resources and can solve the
pollution problem caused by incineration and landfill. For this reason, the thermogravimetric …

Solid biofuels can be defined as processed and unprocessed biomass. By definition it can
be divided into: natural fuels (as obtained) and synthetic fuels (after mechanical and …

Global warming and the GHG effect have forced the reduction of the energetic dependence
on fossil fuels. Because of that, research focusing on biomass properties, characteristics and …

The kinetics of pyrolysis of apricot stone and its main components, ie, lignin, cellulose, and
hemicellulose, were investigated via distributed activation energy mode. Experiments were …

The shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) is globally valued for its nutrition and medicinal
properties. New technologies aim to increase production with less environmental impact …
