BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM SUGAR CANE PRESS MUD AND SUGAR CANE BAGASSE BY ANAEROBIC CO-DIGESTION

Hemicelluloses of Sugar Cane Bagasse Fibre

The Penicillium echinulatum Secretome on Sugar Cane Bagasse

Plant feedstocks are at the leading front of the biofuel industry based on the potential to promote economical, social and environmental development worldwide through sustainable scenarios related to energy production. Penicillium echinulatum is a promising strain for the bioethanol industry based on its capacity to produce large amounts of cellulases at low cost. The secretome profile of P. ec...

Leaf Temperatures of Sugar Cane.

Since the results in the literature are at considerable variance regarding leaf temperatures with reference to the surrounding air temperature, the writer thought it would be of interest to check some leaf temperatures in a different section of the country from those previously reported. The investigations of CURTIS (2) were performed at Berkeley and Riverside, California, and those of CLUM (1)...

Sugar Cane By-products as Livestock Feed

Sugar cane is one of the most successful tropical crops, with many agronomic factors in its favour such as high yield, tolerance of a wide range of soils, resistance-to pests, a perennial growth habit, and a sophisticated supportive technology providing improved varieties and cultural practices. It is still grown almost exclusively for sugar production; however, a number of alternative uses hav...

Sugar cane bagasse as feedstock for second generation ethanol production. Part II: Hemicellulose hydrolysate fermentability

Sugar cane bagasse is produced in Brazil as waste of the sugar and ethanol industries. This lignocellulosic material is a potential source for second-generation ethanol production; however a pretreatment stage is essential, which aims at removing the hemicellulose component by disorganizing the lignocellulosic complex. In this work sugar cane bagasse was pretreated by diluted acid hydrolysis re...
