Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was prepared from sugarcane bagasse (SCB) after alkali extraction with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The MCC treated methylene blue solution. Batch experiments were performed to investigate the effect of contact time, initial dye concentration, pH and adsorbent dosage on adsorption. result shows that adsorption onto influenced by dose, time values. For higher removal...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is currently one of the most efficient crops in the production of first-generation biofuels. However, the bagasse represents an additional abundant lignocellulosic resource that has the potential to increase the ethanol production per plant. To achieve a more efficient conversion of bagasse into ethanol, a better understanding of the main factors affecting biomass rec...

Sugarcane bagasse, rice hulls, peanut shells, and cassava stalks are abundant lignocellulosic residues that could be considered as raw materials for ethanol production in tropical countries. The knowledge on the composition of lignocellulosic materials is important for their effective utilisation. In this work, a systematic comparison of the chemical composition of sugarcane bagasse, peanut she...

Residual biomasses from agro-industries in Paraguay, including soybean hulls (SBHs) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB), were studied as a source for nanocellulose extraction the first time. For that purpose, both delignified semi-pilot stainless-steel reactor, cellulose pulp was subjected to bleaching process with NaClO (2.5%, w/v). The (CNC) obtained after two-step acid hydrolysis. Firstly, bleached ...

PURPOSE To compare the inflammatory reaction caused by the injection of a sugarcane biopolymer (SCB) into the vocal fold of rabbits with that caused by calcium hydroxyapatite (CaH). METHODS CaH (Radiesse(r)) and SCB gel were injected respectively into the right and left vocal cords of thirty rabbits. The rabbits were distributed into two equal groups and sacrificed at three and twelve weeks a...

Sugarcane is an important crop worldwide for sugar and first generation ethanol production. Recently, the residue of sugarcane mills, named bagasse, has been considered a promising lignocellulosic biomass to produce the second-generation ethanol. Lignin is a major factor limiting the use of bagasse and other plant lignocellulosic materials to produce second-generation ethanol. Lignin biosynthes...

This paper presents a method to estimate the biomass of Spirulina cultivated on solid medium with sugarcane bagasse as a support, in view of the difficulty in determining biomass concentrations in bioprocesses, particularly those conducted in semi-solid or solid media. The genus Spirulina of the family Oscillatoriaceae comprises the group of multicellular filamentous cyanobacteria (blue-green m...

ABSTRACT Cockroaches are insects that can accommodate diets of different composition, including lignocellulosic materials. Digestion of these compounds is achieved by the insect's own enzymes and also by enzymes produced by gut symbionts. The presence of different and modular bacterial phyla on the cockroach gut tract suggests that this insect could be an interesting model to study the organiza...

Abstract Uranium (as a hazardous and radioactive element) removal from wastewater requires reliable technology proper functional materials. Carbon fiber species that are produced agricultural solid waste can be type of low-cost adsorbents for wide uses in treatment. In this work, two carbon labeled CF-RH CF-SCB were synthesized different wastes, namely, rice husk sugarcane bagasse respectively....

Pretreatment of biomass is one the most challenging steps in process second-generation (2G) ethanol and biochemical production. Dilute acid pretreatment a widely adapted convenient method to recover pentose (C5) as well hexose (C6) sugars due its featured solubilization hemicellulose cellulose before after enzymatic saccharification, respectively. In present study, dilute sulfuric (H2SO4) sugar...
