A review of studies of biomass potential in the United States finds a wide variation in the estimates. A number of specific policy-relevant questions about the potential of biofuels in the United States are answered. A recently published global analy

This paper investigates the solubility limitations of oligomers in solutions produced by the hydrolysis of commercial xylans and corn stover in just water at 180 °C. These experiments show that hig...

Oat spelt xylan was treated with water in a batch reactor at temperatures of 180 and 200°C. Ion-moderated partition (IMP) chromatography was then applied to separate oligomers in solution according to their molecular size. Calibration of the IMP mea

Oligomer solubility could potentially play an important role in controlling the rates and yields in the thermochemical hydrolysis of hemicellulose as a pretreatment for subsequent enzymatic conversion of cellulose. However, limited data or models are

An idealized model is developed for the case in which biomass slurry is conveyed through an annulus, with water or steam entering through an inner porous wall and liquid product leaving through an outer porous wall. It is assumed that the ratio of oc

The need for large-scale storage, when the energy source is subject to periods of low-energy generation, as it would be in a direct solar or wind energy system, could be the factor which justifies the choice of hydrogen, rather than electricity, as t

Three empirical rate expressions, Kinetics I, II, and III, for the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose were evaluated in an effort to develop a easy-to-use rate expression. They are based on the following equation:-dV/dX = kV, where V and X are the hyd

The adsorption of cellulase protein on lignaceous hydrolysis residue was studied over the range of initial cellulase concentrations: 20–200 FPU/g cellulose. The adsorbed protein (mg/g of substrate) was found to depend on the solids concentration as

The pseudo enzyme adsorption isotherm of the pretreated substrate is used to estimate the pretreatment’s effectiveness in generating accessible adsorption sites. The specific hydrolysis rate (i.e., the hydrolysis rate divided by the adsorbed enzyme
