Green and High Efficient Enzyme Hydrolysis Process for Sweet Sorghum Bagasse

Oct 19, 2011
Xinshu Zhuang
In order to improve enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, several approaches including liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment, adding surfactant, magnetic stirring and fed-batch hydrolysis were investigated, in which Sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) was chosen as the feedstock. The experiment results showed...

Modeling of Asphaltene Deposition In a Vertical Tubing

Oct 19, 2011
Dmitry Eskin
Asphaltene deposition phenomena are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A Couette device, where the inner cylinder rotates and particles deposit on the outer wall, is used for laboratory studies of the deposition process. The modeling approach, recently proposed by the authors (...

Incremental Disassembling of Woody Biomass and Production of Biochemicals

Oct 19, 2011
Shijie Liu
Woody biomass is a reliable renewable source of raw materials for energy and chemicals. Woody biomass is structurally composed of cellulose, lignin, hemicelluloses and other minor components. The compositions vary from species to species. The complexity / heterogeneity of woody biomass presents...
