Modeling and optimization of the dilute-sulfuric acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic

Creator:

Esteghlalian, Alireza

Abstract:

Environmental concerns about urban air quality, global climate change, energy security and economic considerations motivate a growing interest in alternative fuels for the transportation sector. Ethanol, a fermentation-derived fuel, can be produced by bioconversion of renewable materials, such as wood, grass, and waste. Combustion of ethanol fuel, in both neat...

Douglas-fir bark : carbohydrates solubilized by the acidified sodium chlorite delignification reaction

Creator:

Lai, Yu-chai Leslie

Abstract:

The inner bark of Douglas-fir was successively extracted with ethanol-water (4:1 v/v), benzene-ethanol (2:1, v./iv), water, and 0.5% aqueous ammonium oxalate solution. The residue was reacted with acidified sodium chlorite, a commonly used reagent to separate lignin from carbohydrates. In general the reaction dissolves the lignin and leaves the carbohydrates...
