Effect of operating parameters on bio-products obtained from the liquefaction of Quinoa lignocellulose materials
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)An increased reliance on energy production and the consumption thereof is the result of an exponentially growing world population. Current global energy resources rely greatly on coal, natural gas and to a small extent on ... -
Fuel ethanol production from sweet sorghum bagasse using microwave irradiation
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2013)Sweet sorghum is a hardy crop that can be grown on marginal land and can provide both food and energy in an integrated food and energy system. Lignocellulose rich sweet sorghum bagasse (solid left over after starch and ... -
Morphological modification of Chromolaena odorata cellulosic biomass using alkaline peroxide oxidation pretreatment methodology and its enzymatic conversion to biobased products
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)In this study, the structural modification of Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) was performed using NaOH–H2O2- and Ca(OH)2–H2O2-based oxidative pretreatment for the enzymatic conversion of the biomass to a biocommodity, ... -
Use of amaranth as feedstock for bio-ethanol production
(2014)The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and global warming are the two main factors contributing to the current demand in clean and renewable energy resources. Biofuels are renewable energy resources and have an advantage ...
