Chemical composition of five Miscanthus sinensis harvests and nitric-acid cellulose therefrom

Characterization of Chemically Activated Carbons Prepared from Miscanthus and Switchgrass Biomass

“…Regarding cellulose, the main holocellulose component, the determined contents for M. × giganteus, M. sacchariflorus and M. sinensis (Table 2), also fell within the ranges for these species cultivated in other temperate regions [19,32,33,36,37]. In turn, Gismatulina and Budaeva [38] reported higher cellulose contents in biomass of M. sinensis, but cultivated under the severe continental climate of Siberia. In comparison to miscanthus, cellulose content in switchgrass was significantly lower (Table 2), which corresponds to data reported by other authors [18,[33][34][35].…”

Miscanthus grass-derived carbon dots to selectively detect Fe3+ ions

“…39 Different-aged Miscanthus grasses contain cellulose (41.7-53.6%), lignin (20.1-23.8%), ash (3.57-6.30%), pentosans (20.0-25.3%), and extractives (2.8 to 5.7%). 39,40 The aqueous extract of Miscanthus grass contained these extractives and soluble oligomers. 41 The detailed possible mechanism for the formation of MCDs is shown in Scheme 1.…”

Comparing chemical composition and lignin structure of Miscanthus x giganteus and Miscanthus nagara harvested in autumn and spring and separated into stems and leaves

“…Cell wall composition and lignin contents of various Miscanthus genotypes including M. x giganteus and M. sinensis have intensively been investigated. [24][25][26] Fieen Miscanthus genotypes (e.g. M. sinensis, M. sacchariorus, M. x giganteus) harvested between November and April over a period of ve years have been analyzed regarding their composition (ash, silicon, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, calcium, chlorine, and sulfur content).…”
