Enhancing Biomass, Energy and Value Added Compounds Yield from Pilot Scale Pond System

High-Yield Chemical Conversion of Biomass into Biofuels and Value-Added Products

We have developed a new method to efficiently convert waste biomass (agricultural, municipal, forestry) into biofuels and value-added products. The process is completely chemical in nature, inexpensive, and produces no waste stream. The derived products are non-toxic, biodegradable substitutes for petroleum, both in motor fuels and as renewable chemical intermediates. The technology involves th...

Fermentative Production of Value-Added Products from Lignocellulosic Biomass

Bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass (agro residues, grasses, wood, weed, dedicated energy crops and others) into biofuels and other value-added products offers numerous geopolitical, environmental, and strategic benefits. Ligno-cellulosic biomass (LB) is the most abundant renewable organic resources (∼200 billion tons annually) on earth that are readily available for conversion to biofuels...

Making Value - Added Inferences from Large - Scale Assessments

Biomass Refinery - A Way to Produce Value Added Products and Base for Agricultural Zero Emissions System

It has been shown that biomass refinery (biorefinery) with Zero Emissions perspective could convert agricultural wastes into valueadded chemicals and materials. Agricultural and plantations wastes would become as main resources for biorefinery without soil degradation and needs of additional land. Biorefinery non-farm production cycle is crucial for job generation and poverty elimination in rur...

Treatment of small scale gold mining wastewater using pilot-scale sedimentation and Cocopeat filter bed system

The use of amalgamation process to recover gold from mined ores by the small-scale gold miners in the Philippines and other developing countries produces and dispose of untreated wastewater to the receiving water bodies. In this study, a field-scale filter bed system was constructed to treat heavy metal metal-laden wastewater collected from small-scale gold mining site in Paracale, Camarines No...
