The control of microbial infection transmission often relies on the utilization of synthetic and
metal-based antimicrobial agents. However, their non-biodegradability and inadequate …

A critical factor which controls the socio-economic development of any nation is “energy”.
With depleting fossil fuels, there is a shift in focus to lignocellulosic biorefinery. The review …

Bioethanol is an attractive biofuel having potential for energy security and environmental
safety over fossil fuels. To date, numerous biomass resources have been investigated for …

Agricultural residues, such as lignocellulosic materials (LM), are the most attractive
renewable bioenergy sources and are abundantly found in nature. Anaerobic digestion has …

Lignocelluloses' pretreatment is targeted for the improvement of hydrolysis of their
carbohydrates, ie, cellulose and hemicelluloses. Modification of the hardheaded structure of …

Cost effective pretreatment is key to commercial success of use of lignocellulosic material
