Bioorganosolv pretreatments of P. radiata by a brown rot fungus (Gloephyllum trabeum) and ethanolysis

Fiber modifications by organosolv catalyzed with H2SO4 improves the SSF of Pinus radiata

“…The lignin fraction obtained in the liquid phase after the pretreatment can be used for the generation of co-products (Pan et al, 2005;Zakzeski et al, 2010) or thermal fuel (de la Torre et al, 2013). This pretreatment, as well as derivatives thereof, has been used on various materials, such as wheat straw (Wildschut et al, 2013), Eucalyptus globulus (Yanez-S et al, 2013), Loblolly pine (Sannigrahi et al, 2010a), P. radiata (Araque et al, 2008a;Monrroy et al, 2010;Munoz et al, 2007), Liriodendron tulipifera (Koo et al, 2012), and Pinus rigida (Park et al, 2010), among many others, all of which have high yields of conversion of cellulose to glucose.…”

Assessment of holocellulose for the production of bioethanol by conserving Pinus radiata cones as renewable feedstock

“…The hypothesis tested in the current work is e Can pine cones from Pinus radiata be a renewable feedstock for fuel ethanol production? Wood of P. radiata is well studied for ethanol production (Reyes et al, 2013;Franco et al, 2011;Fissore et al, 2010;Monrroy et al, 2010;Munoz et al, 2007). Unlike wood chips, the pine cones are a waste and renewable resource from P. radiata plantation.…”

Fourier transformed near infrared (FT‐NIR) spectroscopy for the estimation of parameters in pretreated lignocellulosic materials for bioethanol production

“…Research on bioethanol production from lignocelluloses has grown significantly over the last few decades. Lignocellulose is renewable, low cost, and abundantly available and has a great potential for bioconversion . Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels as source of carbon for the production of biofuels …”

“…Lignocellulose is renewable, low cost, and abundantly available and has a great potential for bioconversion. 1,2 Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels as source of carbon for the production of biofuels. 3 The conversion of lignocellulose into bioethanol involves multistages such as pretreatment of LCB, enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose and hemicelluloses into monomers, sugar fermentation into ethanol, and separation and purification of ethanol produced by distillation.…”
