Anaerobic digestion of fruit and vegetable wastes (FVW) is a sustainable energy production technology with low carbon footprint but lacks consistent, productive process performance. Hence, the anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) FVW various lignocellulosic biomass has become necessary. This study investigated AcoD dry fallen leaves (DFL) cow dung (CD) FVW. Twelve combinations were designed, varying p...

The rising climate change concerns over the excessive exploitation of non-renewable sources have necessitated need for alternative renewable and eco-friendly resources production innovative materials, achieving targets bioeconomy. Lignocellulosic biomass (LB) constituted by polymeric sugars lignin is an abundantly available plant-based material in form agro-industrial food waste crop residues t...

Contrary to the case of the United States where a systematic management of the RD&D on lignocellulosic ethanol prevails, in Europe the research works remain fragmented despite the efforts made by the European Union and in few member states. In most of the European countries, sustainable lignocellulosic resources may not be widely available in the future for bioethanol production due to the poss...

Low ability of waste sewage sludge to degrade cellulose is observed due its less cellulolytic bacteria content. The enrichment in the absence or presence carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was conducted improve anaerobic digestion (AD) this study. Compared initial (IS), enriched without CMC addition (ES) displayed 69.81% higher CH4 yield and about 1.7-fold greater biodegradation cellulose. In particu...

Application of combined ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) was examined to recycle cellulase and concentrate glucose present in lignocellulosic hydrolyzate. With PES10 membrane operated at 25.6 l/m(2) h, 73.9% of cellulase protein present in the hydrolyzate suspension could be recovered while allowing free transmission of glucose. The permeate obtained from UF was then concentrated by...

Lignocellulosic biomass, which contains cellulose (40-50%), hemicellulose (25-50%) and lignin (10-40%), is the most abundantly available raw material on Earth [1]. Broadly, it is classified into three categories: virgin biomass, waste biomass and energy crops. Owing to the rapid growth of global population and corresponding agricultural activities, the amount of lignocellulosic waste biomass is...

Manure residues have been identified as a major source of environmental pollution. Traditionally, the waste has been disposed directly or after composting, as soil amendments in the agricultural industry. Since this practice has resulted in the degradation of air, soil, and water resources, new regulations for protecting the environment have been promulgated to control land application of anima...
