Recalcitrant nature of lignocellulosic biomass is a major hurdle in the holistic utilization of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in biorefinery operations. Pretreatment of lignocellulosic …

Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) is the process of bubbles formation, expansion, and violent
collapse, which results in the generation of high pressures in the order of 100–5000 bar and …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential sustainable feedstock to replace fossil fuels. However,
the complex structure of biomass makes it difficult to convert into high-value products …

Conversion of food wastes to valuable products is an important topic for sustainable
development. Feedstock hydrolysis is a stage strongly affecting the anaerobic digestion …

Recently, the hydrodynamic cavitation (HC)-based pretreatment has shown high
effectiveness in laboratories and even in industrial productions for conversion of …

Pyrolysis of untreated, acid treated and alkali treated rice husk (URH, ARH and ALRH,
respectively) was investigated. Pre-treatment resulted in change in values of proximate and …

Renewable energy sources have been recognized as a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
Among them, lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a promising option for producing …

Biofuels represent one of the most interesting candidates to replace fossil fuels and to
reduce the global warming issues. Process intensification techniques able to maximize the …

Rice straw (RS) is a lignocellulosic biomass generated in huge amounts as agricultural
wastes, facing improper disposal issues that can severely deteriorate the environment. This …

In the present study, diluted acetic acid was used for the pretreatment of rice straw in order to
improve its bioconversion into biomethane. After pretreatment with 2% acetic acid for 24 h …
