Potential of giant reed (Arundo donax L.) for second generation ethanol production

Effect of Cellulase, Substrate Concentrations, and Configuration Processes on Cellulosic Ethanol Production from Pretreated Arundo donax

“…Moreover, under the conditions tested in this study (69.63 FPU/g cellulose, 10% biomass loading, and pH = 5.0), a hydrolysis yield of 63% was obtained after 24 h of incubation at 37 °C. This value was approximately 22% higher than that reported by Lemons e Silva et al (2015), who reported a maximum (52%) after 30 h of saccharification at 50 °C and pH of 5.0 using approximately 35 FPU/g cellulose and a 10% loading of acid-and alkaline-pretreated A. donax. Moreover, at the optimal enzyme temperature (50 °C), after 24 h of saccharification with 69.63 FPU/g cellulose and a 10% pretreated A. donax loading, the percent of hydrolysis shown, in this study (71.4%), was approximately 36% higher than that reported by Lemons e Silva et al (2015) after 30 h of hydrolysis (35 FPU/g cellulose and 10% pretreated giant reed loading), which confirmed that the increase in the enzyme loading led to a significant increase in the percent hydrolysis.…”

Amoxicillin adsorption on microwave prepared activated carbon from Arundo donax Linn: Isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics studies

“…This plant is a perennial rhizomatous grass native from Asia 59 where it is well suited to subtropical and warm temperate regions, 60 especially in the Mediterranean. It belongs to the Poaceae family and 61 considered as one of the largest Gramineae where its erect stem 62 grow to 2-6 m tall with a rate of 0.3-0.7 m/week during several 63 months in ideal conditions [27]. It is often classified as an emergent 64 aquatic plant due to its rapid growing in marshy areas, peat, bog etc.…”

“…23 There are many methods for AMX removal from sewage water, 24 such as nanofiltration membrane, electrocoagulation, electrochem- 25 ical oxidation, biodegradation, reverse osmosis, ozonation, fenton 26 oxidation, catalytic degradation, and adsorption [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Adsorption 27 has been proven to be an effective process for removal of various 28 antibiotic pollutants from aqueous solutions because of its simple 29 design, flexibility, easy operation, suitability for batch and continu- 30 ous processes, possibility of regeneration and reuse, low capital cost, 31 and capability to remove wide range of pollutant concentrations [13]. 32 Various adsorbents have been utilized for removal of AMX where low 33 adsorption capacity has been observed on clinoptilolite, soil, 34 organobentonite, and chitosan [14][15][16][17].…”
