Cellulose Extraction From Rice Hulls Using Ionic Liquids

Oct 18, 2011
Charles J. Coronella
Over one fifth of calories consumed by humanity are from rice. Consequently, vast quantities of rice hulls are disposed of as waste, since the hull constitutes 20% of rice mass. Standard practice for disposal of rice hulls is burning, generating pollution and CO 2 , or thrown away in vast...

Cellobiose Hydrolysis Using Acid-Functionalized Nanoparticles

Oct 18, 2011
Leidy Peña
Mineral acids have been used effectively for the pretreatment of cellulosic biomass to improve sugar recovery and promote its conversion to ethanol; however, substantial capital investment is required to enable separation of the acid, and corrosion-resistant materials are necessary. Disposal and...

A Novel Method to Harvest Microalgae Via Fungal Pelletization

Oct 17, 2011
Jianguo Zhang
Microalgae harvest contributes a large portion of cost for microalgae-to-biofuels production. Most current harvest technologies including chemical and mechanical methods are only economically feasible for production of high-value products due to the costs. In this work, we are describing a new...
