Mixing effects on the kinetics of enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic Sunn hemp fibres for bioethanol production

Deacetylation Processing of Waste Cigarette Butts for High-Titer Bioethanol Production toward a Clean Recycling Process

“…It was shown that gulcose accumulation occurred even after 24 h with a 15% solids loading for NaOH-OS cellulose, while this was observed after 48 h with a 20% solids loading for NaOH-60 °C cellulose. This indicated that at a higher solids loadings, NaOH-OS cellulose actually exhibited higher cellulose digestibility, very likely due to its lower DP (Table ) and thus enhanced substrate agitation …”

“…This indicated that at a higher solids loadings, NaOH-OS cellulose actually exhibited higher cellulose digestibility, very likely due to its lower DP (Table 2) and thus enhanced substrate agitation. 58 In the case of deacetylated WCBs substrate that exhibited a rather high cellulose content, DP might play a significant role in influencing the overall cellulose accessibility. 52 It was shown that NaOH-60 °C cellulose that exhibited a higher DP tended to show a higher WRV compared to NaOH-OS cellulose.…”

Highly efficient preparation of cellulose nanocrystals by mechano-enzymatic hydrolysis: a mechanism study

“…However, the yield of CNCs in traditional dilute solution enzymatic hydrolysis is only 5.86%, which might be due to diffusion limitation and substrate inhibition. 31 These results demonstrated that the liquid addition could affect the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose: high solid loading promoted the formation of CNCs and inhibited the conversion of reducing sugar. It is supposed that mechanochemistry unlocks the door to a different reaction environment in which substrates and enzymes previously not accessible in solution can be achieved.…”

Investigation of Dielectric and Mechanical Properties of Pretreated Natural Sunn Hemp Fiber-Reinforced Composite in Correlation with Macromolecular Structure of the Fiber

“…Sunn hemp contains 70−78 wt % cellulose and thus is hydrophilic in nature. 7 The bonding of the hydrophilic fiber with the hydrophobic matrix makes an incompatible cross-linking at the interface, and hence this hinders in achieving the maximum potential of the composite material. In the present study, sunn hemp fiber is reinforced with an epoxy matrix.…”

“…The compatibility between the fiber and matrix is the prime interest prior to relating the macromolecular parameters to any physical properties of the composites. Sunn hemp contains 70–78 wt % cellulose and thus is hydrophilic in nature . The bonding of the hydrophilic fiber with the hydrophobic matrix makes an incompatible cross-linking at the interface, and hence this hinders in achieving the maximum potential of the composite material.…”
