In the present study, we discovered a new N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) pretreatment solvent with an excellent lignin solubility and preserved β-O-4 linkages available in the original lignin structure. The results indicate that the formation of 4-methylamino butyric acid in NMP pretreatment system increased the polarity of the solvent system. The increased polarity synergistically increased the lig...... hiện toàn bộ
Removal of Cibacron Blue P-3R (RB 49) dye from aqueous solution using chemo-physically activated biochar from Agave fiber wasteBiomass Conversion and Biorefinery - Tập 13 - Trang 225-235 - 2021
Kahina Bouhadjra, Wahiba Lemlikchi, Samuel Mignard
This paper presents the use of Agave leaves for the removal of an anionic dye Cibacron Blue P 3R (CB) from aqueous solution. The work reports the preparation of activated material (ALa) by impregnation with H3PO4 and carbon fibers (ALc) by pyrolysis at 800°C, from Agave leaves (AL). The materials were characterized by potentiometric titrations, scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analy...... hiện toàn bộ

This study has been focused on obtaining fungal laccases and structural modification of lignin by enzymatic action in laccase-ABTS system, mainly reducing molecular stiffness. The best specific aeration rate in bubble column reactor is 0.67 vvm, with 3260 U/L laccase activity, and enzymatic activity increased by 60% in stirred tank reactor. Enzymatic cocktail has been concentrated in a hollow fibe...... hiện toàn bộ

Calophyllum inophyllum oil, a non-edible renewable resource, was used for the production of biodiesel. In the present study, kinetic analysis was done for the biodiesel production from C. inophyllum oil using alkali and enzymatic method, a non-edible renewable resource with methanol to identify the rate equation and estimate model kinetic parameters. The present model was validated, and the experi...... hiện toàn bộ
