“…It appears, therefore, that pre-treatment to remove the lignin would increase the digestion yield from BALICEBIOM. Barakat et al (2012) demonstrated that methane production from sugar and lignin-derived molecules is possible after lignocellulosic biomass thermal pre-treatment, and they measured methane potentials of 105, 430, 450, and 453 mL g −1 from the biodegradation of vanillin, furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and syringaldehyde, respectively. Our results show that the BMP test used in this study did not lead to the total fermentation of the biodegradable organic matter without sample pre-treatment.…”

“…The "second generation" of biofuels are mainly produced from renewable non-food biomass resources, particularly lignocellulosic materials, because these are the most abundant (and cheap) types of non-food materials available from plants. The production of a number of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass has been described, including bioethanol (Ogier et al 1999;Galbo et al 2002;Didderen et al 2008;Balat 2011), biohydrogen (Guo et al 2010;Cheng et al 2011), biomass pellets (Gil et al 2010;Ståhl et al 2011), and biomethane (Ward et al 2008;Chandra et al 2012;Barakat et al 2012). …”

Significance statement: In this original paper, we present the biochemical composition and potential methane production from the anaerobic digestion of each type of lignocellulosic waste from a banana cultivar (Williams Cavendish: triploid Musa AAA group). These wastes are usually abandoned in the plantation after the fruits have been harvested. There is great interest in obtaining energy from this generally neglected biomaterial, particularly in the contexts of global warming and sustainable development. 2Abstract: We studied banana lignocellulosic biomass (BALICEBIOM) that is abandoned after fruit harvesting, and assessed its biochemical methane potential, because of its potential as an energy source. We monitored biogas production from six morphological parts (MPs) of the "Williams Cavendish" banana cultivar using a modified operating procedure (KOP) using KOH. Volatile fatty acid (VFA) production was measured using high performance liquid chromatography. The bulbs, leaf sheaths, petioles-midribs, leaf blades, rachis stems, and floral stalks gave total biogas production of 256, 205, 198, 126, 253, and 221 mL g −1 dry matter, respectively, and total biomethane production of 150, 141, 127, 98, 162, and 144 mL g −1 , respectively. The biogas production rates and yields depended on the biochemical composition of the BALICEBIOM and the ability of anaerobic microbes to access fermentable substrates. There were no significant differences between the biogas analysis results produced using KOP and gas chromatography. Acetate was the major VFA in all the MP sample culture media.The bioconversion yields for each MP were below 50%, showing that these substrates were not fully biodegraded after 188 d.The estimated electricity that could be produced from biogas combustion after fermenting all of the BALICEBIOM produced annually by the Cameroon Development Corporation-Del Monte plantations for 188 d is approximately 10.5×10 6 kW h (which would be worth 0.80-1.58 million euros in the current market). This bioenergy could serve the requirements of about 42000 people in the region, although CH 4 productivity could be improved.

“…The main purpose of the pretreatment process has often been the recovery of the main hemicelluloses, such as xylan or glucomannan, which can be further processed to desired product applications, for example, via fermentation or fractionation processes (Garrote et al 2001;Parajó et al 2008;Song et al 2008). However, in addition to carbohydrates (and depending on the applied pretreatment conditions), especially acidic pretreatment liquors contain a wide variety of "acidic" sugar degradation products (FF and HMF together with "volatile" carboxylic acids such as acetic and formic acids), extractives, and lignin-derived phenolic compounds (Luo et al 2002;Persson et al 2002;Moure et al 2006;Barakat et al 2012;Lehto and Alén 2012, 2013, 2015aLehto et al 2014a,b). On the other hand, alkaline pretreatments produce significant amounts of various carbohydrates-derived "nonvolatile" carboxylic acids, such as hydroxy mono-and dicarboxylic acids Alén 2013, 2015a).…”

The chemical industry is being forced to evaluate new strategies for more effective utilization of renewable feedstocks to diminish the use of fossil resources. In this literature review, the integration of both acidic and alkaline pretreatment phases of hardwood and softwood chips with chemical pulping is discussed. Depending on the pretreatment conditions, high-volume sulfur-free fractions with varying chemical compositions can be produced. In case of acidic pretreatments, the major products include carbohydrates (mono-, oligo-, and polysaccharides), whereas under alkaline (i.e., aqueous NaOH) pretreatment conditions, the sulfur-free fractions of aliphatic carboxylic acids, lignin, and extractives are primarily obtained. All these fractions are potentially interesting groups of compounds and can be used in a number of applications. Finally, the effects of pretreatments on pulping are also considered. Although it is believed that there are important advantages to be gained by integrating this type of renewable raw material-based production, in particular, with kraft pulping, sulfur-free pulping methods such as soda-AQ and oxygen/alkali delignification processes are also briefly discussed.

“…Furthermore, it may lower the accessibility for enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose (Benner and Hodson, 1985). The observed degradation increases with reduced polymer length (Field, 1989 in Rintala andPuhakka, 1994;Barakat et al, 2012) as well as an increased ratio of syringyl to guaïacyl (Barakat et al, 2012). Lignin-derived phenolic compounds such as syringaldehyd and vanillin have been shown to be degraded under methanogenic conditions (Barakat et al, 2012).…”

The Swedish pulp and paper industry is the third largest exporter of pulp and paper products worldwide. It is a highly energy-demanding and water-utilising industry, which generates large volumes of wastewater rich in organic material. These organic materials are to different extents suitable for anaerobic digestion (AD) and production of energy-rich biomethane. The implementation of an AD process within the wastewater treatment plant of a mill would increase the treatment capacity and decrease the overall energy consumption due to less aeration and lower sludge production and in addition produce biomethane. Despite the many benefits of AD it is only applied at two mills in Sweden today. The reason for the low implementation over the years may be due to problems encountered linked to the complexity and varying composition of the wastewaters. Due to changes in market demands many mills have broadened their product portfolios and turned towards more refined products. This has increased both the complexity and the variations of the wastewaters´ composition even further, as the above changes can imply an increased pulp bleaching and utilisation of more diverse raw materials within the mills.The main aim of this thesis was therefore to generate knowledge needed for an expansion of the biomethane production within the pulp and paper industry. As a first step to achieve this an evaluation of the biomethane potential and the suitability for AD of wastewaters within a range of Swedish pulp and paper mills was performed.Thus, around 70 wastewater streams from 11 different processes at eight mills were screened for their biomethane potential. In a second step, the impact of shifts in wood raw material and bleaching on the AD process and the biomethane production was investigated and further evaluated in upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactors.ii The screening showed that the biomethane potential within the Swedish pulp and paper industry could be estimated to 700 GWh, which corresponds to 40% of the Swedish biomethane production during 2014. However, depending on the conditions at each specific mill the strategy for the establishment of AD needs to differ. For mills producing kraft pulp the potential is mainly found in wastewaters rich in fibres, alkaline kraft bleaching wastewaters and methanol-rich condensates. The biomethane potential within thermo-mechanical pulp-(TMP) and chemical thermo-mechanical pulp (CTMP) mills is mainly present in the total effluents after pre-sedimentation and in the bleaching effluents as these holds high concentrations of dissolved organic material. The screening further showed that the raw material used for pulp production is an important factor for the biomethane potential of a specific wastewater stream, i.e.hardwood (HW) wastewaters have higher potentials than those from softwood (SW) pulp production. This was confirmed in the lab-scale UASB reactor experiments, in which an alkaline kraft bleaching wastewater and a composite pulping and bleaching CTMP wastewater were used as s...
