Extraction of carotenoids from Chlorella vulgaris using green solvents and syngas production from residual biomass

Christian Ludwig, Christof Holliger, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Shivom Sharma

A combined process for carotenoids extraction and efficient bioenergy recovery from the wet microalgae biomass is proposed. High added-value products could thus be extracted prior a hydrothermal gasification of the algal biomass into synthetic natural gas. ...

Enhanced simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of pretreated beech wood by in situ treatment with the white rot fungus Irpex lacteus in a membrane aerated biofilm reactor

Robert Lawrence Shahab

The aim of the present study was to investigate the combination of steam pretreatment and biological treatment with lignin degrading fungal strains in order to enable efficient bioprocessing of beech wood to ethanol. In a sequential process of steam and fu ...

Thermo-economic and environmental comparison of supercritical water and enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse in a biorefinery concept

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

In this study, we discuss the difference regarding thermo-economic and environmental (water intake) aspects between two methods of biomass hydrolysis. A thermo-economic model was developed using Aspen Plus® and MATLAB software in order to analyze the energ ...

Membrane-less micro fuel cell based on two-phase flow

Demetri Psaltis, Miguel Antonio Modestino, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Hashemi, Pooria Hadikhani

Most microfluidic fuel cells use highly soluble fuels and oxidants in streams of liquid electrolytes to overcome the mass transport limitations that result from the low solubility of gaseous reactants such as hydrogen and oxygen. In this work, we address t ...

Environmental, Energetic and Economic Evaluation of Implementing a Supercritical Fluid-Based Nanocellulose Production Process in a Sugarcane Biorefinery

François Maréchal, Juliana Queiroz Albarelli

Nanocellulose, which is a disintegration product of plant cellulose, has recently come to public attention because of its great mechanical properties combined with renewability and biodegradability. From an environmental point-of-view, nanocellulose has sh ...

Comparative techno-economic assessment and LCA of selected integrated sugarcane-based biorefineries

Edgard Gnansounou, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon, Pavel Vaskan

This work addresses the economic and environmental performance of integrated biorefineries based on sugarcane juice and residues. Four multiproduct scenarios were considered; two from sugar mills and the others from ethanol distilleries. They are integrate ...
