With the draining of petroleum derivatives, expanding natural contamination issues, there
has been rising enthusiasm for the examination of lignocellulosic biomass for an alternative …

The concept of a biorefinery that provides valuable bioproducts from biomass conversion
instead of fossil based products is presented. One of the main biorefinery products …

Using lignocellulosic biomass for the production of renewable biofuel provides a sustainable
and promising solution to the crisis of energy and environment. However, the processes of …

Lignin is a highly abundant biopolymer with a complex polyphenolic structure, making it a

The hierarchical, porous, and macromolecular structures of woods provide opportunities for
them to be modified and processed into structural, functional, and multi-functional materials …

An unpolluted process of wheat straw fractionation by steam explosion coupled with ethanol
extraction was studied. The wheat straw was steam exploded for 4.5 min with moisture of …

Organosolv pretreatment can be considered as the core of the lignocellulosic biomass
fractionation within the biorefinery concept. Organosolv facilitates the separation of the major …

Wood extractives usually do not exceed five percent of dry wood mass but can be a serious
issue for pul** as well as for the pulp itself. They cause contamination and damages to …

A new organosolv biomass fractionation process (Clean Fractionation, CF) for the
separation of lignocellulosic raw material into cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin has been …
