Mechanical refining is widely used in the pulp and paper industry to enhance the end-use
properties of products by creating external fibrillation and internal delamination. This …

Lignocelluloses have been the focus of much attention, because of their conversion to
fermentable sugars for cellulosic ethanol production, both from the viewpoint of energy and …

This work presents mechanical refining as a chemical-free pretreatment of cotton textile
waste to be converted into glucose via enzymatic hydrolysis. Both Cellic® CTec2 and CTec3 …

The effect of delignification methods on enzymatic hydrolysis of forest biomass was
investigated using softwood and hardwood that were pretreated at an alkaline condition …

Although densified wood pellets are an attractive biomass feedstock for bioenergy and
biofuels production, partly due to their ease of transport, their friability and hygroscopic …

The structural changes, lignin content and enzymatic hydrolysis of dilute acid pretreated
bagasse from 19 varieties of sugarcane were investigated. Chemical compositions varied …

Laboratory mechanical softwood pulps (MSP) and commercial bleached softwood kraft
pulps (BSKP) were mechanically fibrillated by stone grinding with a SuperMassColloider® …

With the goal of enhancing overall carbohydrate recovery and reducing enzyme loading
refiner mechanical pul** and steam pretreatment (210° C, 5 min) were used to pretreat …

A two-stage process was evaluated to increase sugar recovery. Firstly, corn stover was
treated with dilute hydrochloric acid to recover the xylose, and then the residue was …

The autohydrolysis process has been considered a simple, low-cost and environmental
friendly technology for generation of sugars from biomass. In order to improve accessibility …
