Lignocellulosic materials are a mixture of natural polymers which can be considered a great alternative source of chemical products and energy. Hence, pinewood, poplar wood, and rice straw, as representatives of different types of lignocelluloses, were subjected to several pretreatment types in order to increase ethanol production yield. All pretre...
Improved ethanol production from rice straw, as well as its environmental and socio-economic effects, was studied and compared with fossil fuels. Alkaline, i.e., sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), pretreatments improved the ethanol yield at cold (0 °C), mild (25 °C), and hot (93 °C) pretreatment temperatures. Different substrate...
The softwood pine and hardwood poplar were subjected to NaOH and Na2CO3 alkaline pretreatments for their conversion into ethanol. The resulting solids were characterized in detail for structural modifications. Both alkaline pretreatments enhanced ethanol yields, and the NaOH pretreatment at 93 °C resulted in the highest increase in ethanol yields o...
