It is urgent to advance the discussion on the guidelines that Brazil should adopt to diversify energy sources in order to reduce dependency and promote the replacement of fossil fuels. This is one of the main ways to reduce the already deleterious negative impact that human activities are causing to the environment. This agenda includes the development of technologies for the expansion of sugar...

The objective of this review is to provide a deep overview liquid biofuels produced from sugarcane bagasse and address the economic challenges an ethanol acetone-butanol-ethanol blend in commercial processes. chemistry presented. Pretreatment technologies such as physical, chemical pretreatment, biological, combination pretreatments used fermentation process are also provided summarised. Differ...

. The contamination of the sugarcane starts during its growing stage especially when the nlicroflower is rapidly developed after the harvest and during the warellousing of the bagasse. The types of microorganisms also unite during this process. Firstly, the bacteria and tlre yeasts predominate and the fungi are few. The bacteria continue to predominate during the warehousing of the humid mass o...

To enhance the codigestion of degradation and improve biomethane production potential, sugarcane bagasse and filter mud were pretreated by sodium hydroxide NaOH 1 N at 100°C for 15, 30, and 45 minutes, respectively. Biomethane generation from 1-liter batch reactor was studied at mesophilic temperature (37 ± 1)°C, solid concentrations of 6%, and five levels of mixing proportion with and without ...

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the conditions for the production of endo -1,4 glucanase – a component of cellulase by Aspergillus nidulans SU04 and Aspergillus nidulans MTCC344 under solid state fermentation, using pretreated bagasse as chief substrate. A four-factor-five-level central composite design was employed for the experimental design. The endo -1,4 glucanase pr...

This current study reviews the utilization of traditional extraction methods and latest findings in silica from agricultural wastes, particular, sugarcane bagasse, using inorganic acids to produce nano-silicon. The three key processes discussed detail include electrochemical, ball milling, sol–gel processes. bagasse has been identified as cheapest source producing potential raw material for pre...

A hemicellulose is any of several heteropolymers , such as arabinoxylans, present along with cellulose in almost all plant cell walls. Hemicellulose has a random, amorphous structure with little strength. It is easily hydrolyzed by dilute acid or base as well as myriad hemicellulase enzymes. In this study, lignin and hemicellulose was extracted from sugarcane bagasse using the ammonium hydrolys...

AGRICULTURAL residues such as grain straws and corn stover are abundant, readily available biomass feedstocks for the production of next generation biofuels, with collection and transport costs being a major component of their cost. Sugarcane bagasse is thus an especially attractive biomass feedstock in that it is an agricultural residue already present in large quantities at sugar and ethanol ...
