Several types of lignocellulosic raw materials including wheat straw, sisal bagasse and sugarcane bagasse have different contents of cellulosic components. In our studies, aimed at isolating cellulose-degrading actinobacteria from Brazilian soils, a promising strain was selected and identified as Streptomyces sp. SLBA-08. This strain was tested for cellulase production under submerged fermentat...

This study was designed to investigate the effect of anaerobic digestion on biochar produced from sugarcane bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse was anaerobically digested to produce methane. The digested residue and fresh bagasse was pyrolyzed separately into biochar at 600 degrees C in nitrogen environment. The digested bagasse biochar (DBC) and undigested bagasse biochar (BC) were characterized to det...

In jaggery making furnaces, sugarcane bagasse is used as fuel. Moisture content of bagasse affects its calorific value. So burning of bagasse at suitable level of moisture is essential from the viewpoint of furnace performance. Moisture content can also be used for indirect calculation of fibre content in sugarcane. Normally gravimetric method is used for moisture content determination, which i...

Sugarcane bagasse (SCB), a lignocellulosic byproduct of juice extraction from sugarcane, is rich in cellulose (40-42%). This could be used as a substrate for the production of cellulase complex. Fermentation conditions were optimized for production of cellulase complex (CMCase, Cellulobiase and FPase) by wild type Trichoderma sp. using sugarcane bagasse as sole carbon source. Alkaline treatment...

The addition of agricultural by-products to mineral soils has the potential improve crop production. This study aimed determine effects readily available sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) milling by-product bagasse as a soil amendment on yields grown sandy Entisol South Florida. field trial was conducted commercial farm for three annual cycles (plant cane and two ratoons). Four treatments inclu...

The Agave tequilana bagasse is a lignocellulosic residue from the tequila industry that has great potential for biofuels production. Therefore, first part of this study aimed to optimize the conditions of acid hydrolysis for sugar recovery from two types of Agave tequilana bagasse, which were obtained from two different processes of tequila production, the traditional, in which the Agave tequil...

The dye of wastewater is a major environmental problem. Chemical and biological treatment of wastewaters containing dye is difficult due to the low level of adsorption and chemical stability of dyes. Activated carbon is usually used for adsorption of these materials, but because of high prices and restore problems, researchers trying to find available, low-cost materials with high adsorption. I...

in this research, the characteristics of cmp dioxane lignin (hardwood origin) and soda bagasse lignin (ethanol soluble fraction) and dioxane lignin of bagasse were studied using gel permeation chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 13c nmr spectroscopy and dfrc degradation procedure. the results indicated that the main structural units in lignins are phenyl propane skeletons b...
