AbstractBanana pseudostem fiber which is a lignocellulosic material, relatively inexpensive, and abundantly available was assessed in terms of its fiber‐matrix adhesion and dispersion in composites. Different types of adhesives were used. The mechanical and water absorption properties were investigated.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1983
Sources of lignocellulose materials suitable for conversion into chemical feedstocks are reviewed and the chemical nature of the cellulosic, hemicellulosic and lignin components examined. Pulping and analytical methods of separation are discussed and a consideration is made of the potential products from lignocellulosic sources. Recent work with dilute

Lignocellulosic ethanol: From science to industry
Biomass and Bioenergy, 2012Lignocellulosic raw materials, not competing with food production, can provide environmental, economic, and strategic benefits for the production of biofuels. The cost of biomass-based biotechnical ethanol production has been recently reduced significantly, mainly due to advances in the conversion techniques; i.e.

Feedstocks for Lignocellulosic Biofuels
Science, 2010In 2008, the world produced approximately 87 gigaliters of liquid biofuels, which is roughly equal to the volume of liquid fuel consumed by Germany that year. Essentially, all of this biofuel was produced from crops developed for food production, raising concerns about the net energy and greenhouse gas effects and potential competition between use of ...

Butanol production from lignocellulosics
Biotechnology Letters, 2012Clostridium spp. produce n-butanol in the acetone/butanol/ethanol process. For sustainable industrial scale butanol production, a number of obstacles need to be addressed including choice of feedstock, the low product yield, toxicity to production strain, multiple-end products and downstream processing of alcohol mixtures. This review describes the use

Various pretreatments of lignocellulosics
Bioresource Technology, 2016Biomass pretreatment for depolymerizing lignocellulosics to fermentable sugars has been studied for nearly 200 years. Researches have aimed at high sugar production with minimal degradation to inhibitory compounds. Chemical, physico-chemical and biochemical conversions are the most promising technologies.

Bioethanol from Lignocellulosic Biomass
2011China is suffering from a sustained shortage of crude oil supply, making fuel ethanol and other biofuels alternative solutions for this issue. However, taking into account the country's large population and dwindling arable land due to rapid urbanization, it is apparent that current fuel ethanol production from grain-based feedstocks is not sustainable,

Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Feedstocks
2017With the aim of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and with our dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels, lignocellulose has been proposed to be an alternative sugar-rich raw material for renewable biofuel production, especially for the transportation sector.

Cellulose from Lignocellulosic Waste
2014Bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel and value-added products is globally gaining significant importance. Lignocellulosic wastes are the most promising feedstock considering its great availability and low cost. Biomass conversion process involves mainly two steps: hydrolysis of cellulose in the lignocellulosic biomass to ...
