Sugar, acid and furfural quantification in a sulphite pulp mill: Feedstock, product and hydrolysate analysis by HPLC/RID
Waste from pulp and paper mills consist of sugar-rich fractions comprising hemicellulose derivatives and cellulose by-products. A complete characterisation of the waste streams is necessary to study the possibilities of an existing mill. In this work, four chromatographic methods have been developed to obtain the most suitable chromatographic method conditions for measuring woody feedstocks, li...
متن کاملSeparation of Carboxylic Acids from Aqueous Solutions using Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactors
Separation of formic, acetic, and propionic acids from the aqueous stream using membrane solvent extraction has been studied using three different membrane contactors made of polysulfone (PS), polyethersulfone (PES), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) using two different solvents; including ethyl acetate (EA) and diisopropyl ether (DIPE). The efciency of the membrane and e...
متن کاملBioconversion of wheat straw cellulose/hemicellulose to ethanol by Saccharomyces uvarum and Pachysolen tannophilus.
The information presented in this publication represents current research findings on the production of glucose and xylose from straw and subsequent direct fermentation of both sugars to ethanol. Agricultural straw was subjected to thermal or alkali pulping prior to enzymatic saccharification. When wheat straw (WS) was treated at 170 degrees C for 30-60 min at a water-to-solids ratio of 7:1, th...
متن کاملSeparation of Carboxylic Acids from Waste Water via Reactive Extraction
The separation (or removal) of organic residues from aqueous waste streams released from industries is important and essential from the points of view of pollution control and recovery of useful materials. The disposal of waste waters containing most widely-used industrial organic acids such as acetic acid, formic acid and propionic acid has been recognized as a significant expense to the indus...
متن کاملEvaluation of the enzymatic digestibility of paper industry byproducts
Background Researches concerning renewable energy sources and wastes recycling are strategic to ensure energetic and environmental sustainability of the planet. In this scenario, biofuels (including bioethanol) have attracted increasing attention. Most ethanol is currently produced from sugarand starch-based feedstocks, such as sugar cane in Brazil and corn in the U.S.A. However, lignocellulosi...
