Enabling the Development of Furan-based Biorefineries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Dilute aqueous solutions of furfural were produced in high yield from biomass hydrolysates using an acid-catalyzed batch reactive distillation (BRD) process that separated the vapor phase from the aqueous reactant medium.

Lignocellulosic Triboelectric Materials for Energy Harvesting and Emerging Applications: A Review on Lignin‐Molecular Engineering toward Improved Performance

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Contrasting sustainable biomass with depleting petroleum resources, this review charts the evolutionary timeline of lignin‐based TENGs. We systematically evaluate their fundamental mechanisms, enhancement strategies, and applications in green self‐powered electronics.

High‐Strength, Fluorescent, Triboelectric Cellulose Hydrogel‐Derived Plastics Through Molecular Network Engineering for Energy Harvesting and Motion Sensing

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Multifunctional cellulose hydrogel‐derived plastics (FCBPs) are fabricated via a novel molecular network engineering strategy involving epoxy cross‐linking, solvent exchange, and hot‐pressing techniques. The resulting materials exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent thermal/solvent resistance, stable fluorescence, complete biodegradability, and ...

Applying Transaction Cost Economics: A Note on Biomass Supply Chains [PDF]

open access: yes
Agricultural supply chains, especially those from producer to first handler, are relatively mature institutions. While agricultural economists often observe the evolution of marketing structures in developing nations, it is a rare opportunity to research

Sustainable Iron Catalysis for Chemodivergent Oxidation of Lignin‐Based Vanillyl Alcohol: Selective Access to Vanillin and Vanillic Acid

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Green reaction media enable chemodivergent oxidation of vanillyl alcohol, selectively affording vanillin or its fully oxidized counterpart, vanillic acid. The use of an earth‐abundant, inexpensive, and nontoxic iron catalyst for the transformation of lignin‐derived alcohol to fine chemicals underscores the sustainability of the process. A low E‐factor (

Thermal characterization of blends of faecal sludge and lignocellulosic biomass to produce biochar

open access: yes, 2020
Treatment of faecal sludge using pyrolysis can produce biochar with low heating value. The blending of faecal sludge with lignocellulosic biomass during pyrolysis can increase the heating value and also produce better quality biochar yield which is ...

Production of bioethanol from residual barley and utilization of fermentation co‐products in animal nutrition

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for sustainable alternatives for bioethanol production has encouraged the valorization of agro‐industrial residues. This study evaluated the use of residual barley as a feedstock for bioethanol production and as a potential ingredient for ruminant feed.

Policies to Facilitate Conversion of Millions of Acres to the Production of Biofuel Feedstock [PDF]

open access: yes
First-generation grain ethanol biofuel has affected the historical excess capacity problem in U.S. agriculture. Second-generation cellulosic ethanol biofuel has had difficulty achieving cost-competitiveness.

Pretreatment of Lignocelluloses With Solvent N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide

open access: yes, 2016
Three decades after N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) was first introduced as a solvent for direct cellulose dissolution, the usage of NMMO in the fiber-making industry has flourished throughout the world.
