Biomass pretreatment for depolymerizing lignocellulosics to fermentable sugars has been
studied for nearly 200 years. Researches have aimed at high sugar production with minimal …

The three primary lignocellulosic biomass components (cellulose, xylan and lignin),
synthetic biomass samples (prepared by mixing the three primary components) and …

Cost effective pretreatment is key to commercial success of use of lignocellulosic material
(LCM) as feedstock for production of bioethanol. The seasonal nature and annual variability …

Currently major part of the world's energy requirements is fulfilled by fossil resources.
Severe economic and environmental problems along with their limited resources are still a …

Hydrogen rich gas production and advantages of polygeneration during biomass
conversation through pyrolysis were extensively reviewed in this paper. Different innovative …

The liquefaction of biomass is an important technology to converse the biomass into
valuable biofuel. The common technologies for liquefaction of biomass are indirect …

Lignin is a highly abundant biopolymer with a complex polyphenolic structure, making it a
potential source of aromatic precursors, polymers, and energy. However, its thermal stability …

Considering global developments like climate change and the depletion of fossil resources,
the use of new and sustainable feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass becomes …

Biorefinery operations may be made more cost competitive through use of cheaper
feedstocks (eg lignocellulosic wastes) and integration of multiple revenue streams. Current …
