چکیده

Photocatalytic conversion of cellulose to sugars and carbon dioxide with simultaneous production of hydrogen assisted by cellulose decomposition under UV or solar light irradiation was achieved upon immobilization of cellulose onto a TiO2 photocatalyst. This approach enables production of hydrogen from water without using valuable sacrificial agents, and provides the possibility for recovering sugars as liquid fuels.

Fe2V4O13 assisted hetero-Fenton mineralization of methyl orange under UV-A light irradiation

Fe2V4O13 is prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The hetero-Fenton catalyst can be used to mineralize Methyl Orange (MO) under UV-A light. The mineralization rate is influenced by hydr...

Enhanced Biohydrogen Production by Accelerating the Hydrolysis of Macromolecular Components of Waste Activated Sludge Using TiO2 Photocatalysis as a Pretreatment

The effects of TiO2 photocatalysis on the hydrolysis of protein of waste activated sludge (WAS) and its biodegradability were investigated in this study. After 12-h UV irradiation, the removal ratio of protein by TiO2 photocatalysis reached 98.1%. The optimal condition for photocatalytic degradation of protein is TiO2 dosage of 5.0 mg·L under 2.4 w·m UV light irradiation. TiO2 photocatalysis in...

H2 production by the photocatalytic reforming of cellulose and raw biomass using Ni, Pd, Pt and Au on titania

Here, we report a method for sustainable hydrogen production using sunlight and biomass. It is shown that cellulose can be photoreformed to produce hydrogen, even in solid form, by use of metal-loaded titania photocatalysts. The experiments performed verified that the process is enabled by initial hydrolysis via glucose, which itself is shown to be efficiently converted to produce hydrogen by p...

Study of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose for production of fuel ethanol by the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process.

The biochemical conversion of cellulosic biomass to ethanol, a promising alternative fuel, can be carried out efficiently and economically using the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. The SSF integrates the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, catalyzed by the synergistic action of cellulase and beta-glucosidase, with the fermentative synthesis of ethanol. Be...

Kinetic Study of the Decomposition of Cellulose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Ionic Liquid

The kinetics of cellulose decomposition in ionic liquid was investigated using microcrystalline cellulose as a raw material. Curve fitting of cellulose degradation kinetic data was carried out by MATLAB. Experimental results demonstrated that the cellulose decomposition rate constant, k1, was less than the constant for glucose decomposition to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5HMF), k2, in the ionic li...
