BACKGROUND Second-generation ethanol (2G-bioethanol) uses lignocellulosic feedstocks for ethanol production. Sugarcane is one among the most suitable crops for biofuel production. Its juice is extracted for sugar production, while sugarcane bagasse, straw, and senescing leaves are considered industrial waste. Senescence is the age-dependent deterioration of plant cells, ultimately leading to ce...

The current study explores co-pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse, and thermocol waste in a semi-batch reactor to evaluate the influence temperature, blending ratio on yield products, reaction time, thereby characterize maximum liquid product. properties product (bio-oil), solid (bio-char) obtained from thermal bagasse: bio-oil were investigated for physicochemical characterizations. compositional a...

Cellulase production was evaluated in two reference strains (T. reesei Rut-C30 and T. reesei QM9414), two strains isolated from a sugarcane cultivation area (Trichoderma sp. IPT778 and T. harzianum rifai IPT821) and one strain isolated in a program for biodiversity preservation in São Paulo state (Myceliophthora thermophila M77). Solid state cultures were performed using sugarcane bagasse (C), ...

The use of various fibres such as steel, glass, sugarcane bagasse, and others has a considerable impact on the fresh hardened properties concrete. Sugarcane bagasse fibre is byproduct from industry that can be reused concrete fibre. This paper objective to work behaviour low calcium fly ash slag based geopolymer G40 which equivalent M40 grade, when it exposed 5% sulphate attack with help experi...

Sugarcane is one of the important commercial crops cultivated world-wide both under tropical and sub-tropical conditions. The crop gains economic importance by virtue of its industrial potential in terms of products like crystal white sugar, bagasse, pressmud, power etc. Among the various production constraints of the crop, diseases are seen as a major threat for sustaining the productivity of ...

in this work, styrene removal from wastewater by using sugarcane waste (bagasse) as an adsorbent was studied. equilibrium isotherms and kinetics were determined; the effects of bagasse particle size and concentration, solutions ph, and temperature on the biosorption of styrene were studied in batch experiments. adsorption equilibrium data was successfully fitted to langmuir isotherms (r2=0.986)...

BACKGROUND Sugarcane, a tropical C4 perennial crop, is capable of producing 30-100 tons or more of biomass per hectare annually. The lignocellulosic residue remaining after sugar extraction is currently underutilized and can provide a significant source of biomass for the production of second-generation bioethanol. RESULTS MYB31 and MYB42 were cloned from maize and expressed in sugarcane with...

The adsorption of chromium(VI) ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated on Neem sawdust (NS), Mango sawdust (MS), Wheat shell (WS), Sugarcane bagasse (SB) and Orange peel (OP). The adsorbent which showed highest chromium(VI) removal was Neem sawdust. The influence of pH, contact time, biomass dosage and initial metal concentration on biosorption was investigated. The biosorptive capaci...

D-xylose is a component of sugarcane bagasse that can be used as a renewable resource for the production of a variety of chemicals. By means of catalytic reactions in an aqueous medium, it was determined that D-xylose can efficiently be converted into furfural by the application of microwave as a green synthetic methodology. The highest yields of furfural were obtained at a HCl concentration of...
