Abstract Drop‐in biofuels have been defined as functionally equivalent to petroleum‐based transportation fuels and are fully compatible with the existing petroleum infrastructure. They will be essential in sectors such aviation if we achieve emission reduction climate mitigation goals. Currently, ‘conventional’ drop‐in biofuels, which primarily based on upgrading of lipids / oleochemicals, only significant source commercial volumes biofuels. However, necessary increased, future likely come...
A multireaction kinetic model was developed for closed-system enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass such as corn stover. Three reactions were modeled, two heterogeneous cellulose breakdown to cellobiose and glucose one homogeneous reaction hydrolyzing glucose. Cellulase adsorption onto pretreated lignocellulose modeled via a Langmuir-type isotherm. The sugar products hydrolysis, glucose, well xylose, the dominant prevalent in most hemicellulose hydrolyzates, assumed competitively...
Liberation of fermentable sugars from recalcitrant biomass is among the most costly steps for emerging cellulosic ethanol production. Here we compared two pretreatment methods (dilute acid, DA, and cellulose solvent organic lignocellulose fractionation, COSLIF) corn stover. At a high cellulase loading [15 filter paper units (FPUs) or 12.3 mg per gram glucan], glucan digestibilities stover pretreated by DA COSLIF were 84% at hour 72 97% 24, respectively. low (5 FPUs glucan), digestibility...
Abstract Drop‐in biofuels that are ‘functionally identical to petroleum fuels and fully compatible with existing infrastructure’ needed for sectors such as aviation where bioethanol/biodiesel cannot be used. The technologies used produce drop‐in can grouped into the four categories: oleochemical, thermochemical, biochemical, hybrid technologies. Commercial volumes of conventional currently produced through oleochemical pathway, make products renewable diesel biojet fuel. However, cost,...
Cellulases and related hydrolytic enzymes represent a key cost factor for biochemical conversion of cellulosic biomass feedstocks to sugars biofuels chemicals production. The US Department Energy (DOE) is sharing projects decrease the saccharification. performance benchmark cellulase preparations produced by Danisco, DSM, Novozymes Verenium convert pretreated corn stover (PCS) cellulose glucose was evaluated under common experimental conditions reported here in non-attributed manner.
