Aiming to fulfil the sustainability criteria of future biorefineries, a novel biomass pretreatment combining natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs) and microwave (MW) technology was developed. Results showed that NaDESs have high potential as green for lignin fractionation/recovery sugar release in following enzymatic hydrolysis. A new class derived (LigDESs) also investigated, showing promisi...

Corn cob is an abundant agricultural residue worldwide, with high potential and interesting composition, its valorization still needs to be studied. Selectively fractionating structural components (hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin), value-added products can produced, eliminating waste. In this work, integrated fractionation approaches were developed evaluated. First, organosolv process was opti...

Although it is considered to be an environmental-friendly approach reduce recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass, current fungal pretreatment methods suffer from major weaknesses, including inefficient delignification, loss cellulose, and the need for long processing time. The addition Mn white-rot treatment process could facilitate selective removal lignin. However, effect on thermal decompo...

Multiple natural polymers have been investigated for the synthesis of hydrogels to present date, but lignin has demonstrated be a promising one this purpose multiple advantages it offers. Lignin can isolated from lignocellulosic material such as nut shells, which are usually undervalued wastes, and would great step forward on circular economy. Thus, in work, was extracted almond walnut shells f...

Biofuels could be defined as the fuels of future, although much work is still required before they will replace fossil fuels. In this review, lignocellulosic biomass based on straw and related crops wastes described concerning its lignin contents, structure, properties, an overview means current predictable delignification protocols presented. The discussion focused herbaceous monocot materials...
