This paper proposes a multiobjective, mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for the superstructure optimization of hydrocarbon biorefineries via gasification pathway under economic and environmental criteria. The proposed hydrocarbon biorefinery superstructure includes a number of major processing stages, such as drying of the cellulosic biomass feedstocks, air separation unit, gasi...

Abstract The production of biofuels and biochemicals requires a pretreatment to cleave the composite-like structure lignocellulosic biomass thus facilitate further conversion. In case liquid-based pretreatment, it is important know which liquids allow for an effective conversion biomass. For development strategies, simple criteria fast evaluation results are advantageous. this study, we use exa...

This review presents data on the chemical composition of harvest residues and food <br /> industry by-products as widely abundant representatives lignocellulosic waste biomass. Pretreatment methods, with special emphasis biological are presented an important step in utilization biomass for production sustainable biofuels high-value chemicals. Special attention was paid to methods lignin i...
