Advances in second‐generation biofuel production from rice straw and barley straw
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 313-331, January/February 2026.Abstract This review critically examines recent advances in the use of rice straw and barley straw as lignocellulosic feedstocks for second‐generation biofuel production. A comprehensive analysis of their chemical composition, including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and ash content, reveals how these intrinsic properties affect the efficiency of ...

Kinetic modeling of rapid enzymatic hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose after pretreatment by NMMO
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012 AbstractPretreatment of cellulose with an industrial cellulosic solvent, N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, showed promising results in increasing the rate of subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Cotton linter was used as high crystalline cellulose. After the pretreatment, the cellulose was almost completely hydrolyzed in less than 12 h, using low enzyme loading (

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 967-1002, January 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines whether and how patenting advances circular innovation and therefore contributes to the sociotechnical transition toward a circular economy. Using the multilevel perspective (MLP) as a theoretical framework, we conducted a case study set in the empirical context of man‐made cellulosic fibers. These heavily patented fibers

Depolymerization of Polycotton‐Blended Fabrics: Challenges and Opportunities
ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.The increasing production of cotton/polyethylene terephthalate (PET)‐blended textiles and the limitations of traditional recycling highlight the need for innovative strategies. This minireview explores pretreatments, chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis to selectively recover glucose, terephthalic acid, and ethylene glycol, enabling their reuse in ...

Enhanced Ethanol and Biogas Production from Pinewood by NMMO Pretreatment and Detailed Biomass Analysis [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 N-Methyl morpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) is an environmentally friendly and commercially applied cellulose solvent that is suggested for pretreatment of lignocelluloses to improve biofuel productions. However, the underlying mechanisms of the improvements have been poorly understood yet.

Nonlinear behavior of vibrating molecules on suspended graphene waveguides
, 2012 Suspended graphene waveguides were deposited on micron-scale periodic metal (plasmonic) structures. Raman scattering of test molecules (B. Megaterium), deposited on the waveguides' surface, exhibited azimuthal cycles upon rotation: at these micron scales,
