Investigation of Rheological Behavior of Untreated and Microwave-Assisted Alkaline Pretreated Sugarcane Straw for Biofuel Production
Karungi, Acheles; Pogrebnoi, Alexander M.; Kivevele, Thomas (Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-07-05)Purpose Biomass slurries, such as those subjected to microwave-assisted alkaline (MAA) pretreatment, will become common substrates for the production of biofuels in the future. While the rheology of acid and ionic liquid ... -
Optimization of microwave-assisted alkali pretreatment followed by acid hydrolysis of sugarcane straw for production of acetone-butanol-ethanol
Karungi, Acheles; Pogrebnoi, Alexander M.; Kivevele, Thomas (Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-05-07)The production of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) calls for effective pretreatment and hydrolysis techniques to maximize reducing sugar yields. In this study, optimized microwave-assisted alkali (MAA) pretreatment followed ...
