Biomass Recalcitrance in Willow Under Two Biological Conversion Paradigms: Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Anaerobic Digestion

Mechanistic Models on Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Anaerobic Digestion

Enhanced efficiency of biological excess sludge hydrolysis under anaerobic digestion by additional enzymes.

In this investigation, the effects of commercial enzyme preparation containing alpha amylase and neutral protease on hydrolysis of excess sludge and the kinetic analysis of hydrolysis process were evaluated. The results indicated that amylase treatment displayed higher hydrolysis efficiency than that of protease. VSS reduction greatly increased to 39.70% for protease and 54.24% for amylase at t...

Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass

technology was selected as a key area for biomass technology development in the 1980s, and the US Department of Energy (DOE) has actively supported the scale up of ethanol production since the Office of Alcohol Fuels was created in the DOE after the ‘energy crisis’ of the 1970s. Although biological conversion of cellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals through enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose...

enzymatic pre-hydrolysis of high fat content dairy wastewater as a pretreatment for anaerobic digestion

enzymatic extract preparation from pseudomonas aeruginosa km110 under accession no. hq730879 with lipase activity (0.3 u/ml), was used to perform enzymatic hydrolysis pretreatment of a synthetic dairy wastewater with 1000 mg/l total fat content. the pretreatment was optimized for 48 h hydrolysis time, at 45æ% c with 10% v/v enzymatic extract. the biological treatment of synthetic dairy wastewa...
