Enhancing cellulose and lignin fractionation from acacia wood: optimized parame...
Magalhães, Solange; Aliaño González, María José; Rodrigues, Mariana; Fernandes, Catarina; Mendes, Cátia V. T.; Carvalho, Maria Graça V. S.; Alves, LuísCellulose and lignin, sourced from biomass, hold potential for innovative bioprocesses and biomaterials. However, traditional fractionation and purification methods often rely on harmful chemicals and high temperatures, making these processes both hazardous and costly. This study introduces a sustainable approach for fractionating acacia wood, focusing on both cellulose and lignin extraction using a deep eutect...
Batch Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of Primary Sludge at Very ...
Mendes, Cátia V. T.; Rocha, Jorge M. S.; Carvalho, M. Graça V. S.A sustainable industrial future involves the exploitation of renewable resources to obtain a wide diversity of products and energy and the decrease of waste generation. Primary sludge (PS) from pulp and paper mills is a lignocellulosic residue mainly consisting of cellulose and hemicelluloses that can be converted to bioethanol. In the present work, bioethanol was produced from untreated PS by simultaneous sacc...
Biodegradable film production from agroforestry and fishery residues with activ...
Gaspar, Marisa C.; Leocádio, João; Mendes, Cátia V. T.; Cardeira, Martim; Fernández, Naiara; Matias, Ana; Carvalho, Maria G. V. S.; Braga, Mara E. M.This paper is dedicated to the memory of A. T. Portugal, the University of Coimbra leader of Multibiorefinery project, for his partnership and commitment; An increasing interest in food packaging materials without environmental impact and able to improve shelf life has emerged in the last decade. The aim of this work was to produce biodegradable films from agroforestry (pine stumps) and fishery (chitosan) resid...
