Engineering aspects of hydrothermal pretreatment: from batch to continuous oper...
Ruiz, Héctor A.; Conrad, Marc; Sun, Shao-Ni; Sanchez, Arturo; Rocha, George J. M.; Romani, Aloia Perez; Castro, Eulogio; Torres, AnaDifferent pretreatments strategies have been developed over the years mainly to enhance enzymatic cellulose degradation. In the new biorefinery era, a more holistic view on pretreatment is required to secure optimal use of the whole biomass. Hydrothermal pretreatment technology is regarded as very promising for lignocellulose biomass fractionation biorefinery and to be implemented at the industrial scale for bi...
Scale-up and evaluation of hydrothermal pretreatment in isothermal and non-isot...
Aguilar, Daniela L.; Rodríguez-Jasso, Rosa M.; Zanuso, Elisa; Rodríguez, Diana Jasso de; Amaya-Delgado, Lorena; Sanchez, Arturo; Ruiz, Héctor A.The production of tequila in Mexico generates a large amount of agave bagasse per year. However, this biomass can be considered as a potential source for biofuel production. In this study, it is described how the hydrothermal pretreatment was scaled in a bench scale, considering the severity index as a strategy. The best condition was at 180°C in isothermal regime for 20min with 65.87% of cellulose content and ...
