Hydrothermal Conversion of Biomass into Value- Added Products: Technology That Mimics Nature
The term “hydrothermal” comes originally from the field of geology. Hydrothermal reactions generally can be defined as reactions in the presence of aqueous solvents under high temperature and pressure. Such reactions played a very important role during formation of fossil fuels. On the basis of the natural phenomena, we have conducted a series of studies concerning hydrothermal conversion of bi...
متن کاملDirect Production of Alkyl Levulinates from Cellulosic Biomass by a Single-Step Acidic Solvolysis System at Ambient Atmospheric Pressure
A simple method was invented to achieve a high yield of cellulosic biomass-derived alkyl levulinates, which have the potential to be alternative fuel additives. Alkyl levulinates, such as butyl-, pentyl-, and hexyl levulinates, were produced using single-step acid-catalyzed solvolysis of cellulosic biomass without the use of elevated pressure. Reactions were performed by refluxing alcohols such...
متن کاملAssessing the molecular structure basis for biomass recalcitrance during dilute acid and hydrothermal pretreatments
The production of cellulosic ethanol from biomass is considered a promising alternative to reliance on diminishing supplies of fossil fuels, providing a sustainable option for fuels production in an environmentally compatible manner. The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels through a biological route usually suffers from the intrinsic recalcitrance of biomass owing to the complicat...
متن کاملEnhanced yields of furfural and other products by simultaneous solvent extraction during thermochemical treatment of cellulosic biomass
Furfural derived from pentose sugars is one of the key reactive intermediates for production of hydrocarbons from cellulosic biomass for use as drop-in fuels. Simultaneous extraction into a solvent immiscible in water can substantially enhance furfural yields by removing it from the aqueous environment where the yield would otherwise be limited by its rapid degradation to chars and other carbon...
متن کاملMulti-scale structural and chemical analysis of sugarcane bagasse in the process of sequential acid–base pretreatment and ethanol production by Scheffersomyces shehatae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
BACKGROUND Heavy usage of gasoline, burgeoning fuel prices, and environmental issues have paved the way for the exploration of cellulosic ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol production technologies are emerging and require continued technological advancements. One of the most challenging issues is the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass for the desired sugars yields after enzymatic hydrolysis. We h...
