The efficient conversion of hemicellulose and cellulose into reducing sugars remains as one major challenge for biorefinery lignocellulosic biomass. In this work, saccharification corncob in the aqueous phase was effectively realized via pretreatment by magnetic carbon-based solid acid (MMCSA) catalyst, combined with subsequent situ enzymatic hydrolysis (occurring same system after separation M...

knowledge of the aerodynamic properties of agricultural materials is needed in equip-ment design for operations such as pneumatic conveying in loading/unloading operations of corn silage into/from silos. while considerable information is available on seed grains, little is known about the aerodynamic behavior of corn (zea mays l.) silage. in this re-search, the weighed mean terminal velocity of...

Corncob waste is expected as a source of biomass to be converted through pyrolysis into liquid smoke, charcoal, and tar. The study aimed determine the effectiveness corncob smoke on storagebility tomatoes mango. treatments, which consisted 0, 1, 2, 3, 4% were arranged in randomized block design with four replications. Data analysis using ANOVA Duncan's Multiple Difference Test. was conducted tw...

Lignocellulosic biomass is widely used in the field of laccase production because it has advantages low price and easy availability. Thus, a comparative analysis was performed secretion ability five white-rot fungi submerged fermentation using single or mixtures lignocellulosic biomass. Maximum activity Trametes gibbosa An 360, Vanderbylia fraxinea 369, Perenniporia pyricola Han 202, Coriolopsi...

Abstract Corncob waste can be used as compost; corncob compost that microbial decomposers have composted positively affects soil and plants. The objectives of this study are 1). It was obtaining the type fungi from corn rhizosphere acts a decomposer 2) knowing potential in suppressing F. graminearum , which causes stem rot on increasing plant growth. designs for two steps were: Randomized Block...

Pleurotus ostreatus and a newly isolated Ganoderma lingzhi strain were evaluated for their laccase secretion capacity by solid-state fermentation with different agricultural forestry residues. There was significant difference among fungi biosynthetic potential. In principle, the of P. CY 568 stronger than that from G. Han 500. Different species had preference The presence cottonseed hull Populu...

Abstract Recently, though graphene oxide (GO) has shown promising applications in many fields, there have not been studies focusing on exploiting the source of synthetic precursors GO. Herein, GO was synthesized from cellulose corncob by alkalization, bleaching cellulose, pyrolysis, and improved Hummer's method. It found that pyrolysis plays an important role graphitization with catalyst Fe(NO ...

Xylose-extracted corncob residue (X-ER), a byproduct from the xylose production industry, is a potential cellulose-rich energy resource. However, attempts to achieve large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol using X-ER have been unsatisfactory due to a lack of understanding of the substrate. This study presents the first characterization of the X-ER to evaluate its potential utilization in t...

BACKGROUND For economical bioethanol production from lignocellulosic materials, the major technical challenges to lower the production cost are as follows: (1) The microorganism should use efficiently all glucose and xylose in the lignocellulose hydrolysate. (2) The microorganism should have high tolerance to the inhibitors present in the lignocellulose hydrolysate. The aim of the present work ...
