The production of so-called advanced bioethanol offers several advantages compared to traditional processes in terms sustainability criteria. This includes, for instance, the use nonfood crops or residual biomass as raw material and a higher potential reducing greenhouse gas emissions. present review focuses on recent progress related bioethanol, (i) highlighting current results from using novel sources such organic fraction municipal solid waste certain industrial residues (e.g., paper,...
The current economy system is based in an intensive consumption of fossil fuels a way that severely compromise future the planet due to severe consequences climate change. In this scenario, development flexible and integrated biorefineries produce biofuels bioproducts from renewable biomass sources represent key tool perform transition petroleum-based novel bioeconomy looks for more efficient sustainable global development. This article analyses: significance (such as agricultural woody...
Olive crop and olive oil industry generates several residues, i.e., tree pruning biomass (OTPB), extracted pomace (EOP) leaves (OL) that could be used to produce high-added value products in an integrated biorefinery. OTPB is generated the field as a result of operation remove old branches; EOP main residue extracting after extraction with hexane residual contained pomace; OL comes from cleaning process carried out at mills, where small branches are separated by density. In this work,...
Abstract Olive trees are cultivated in more than 40 countries worldwide over 10 million hectares. In addition to olive oil, a large amount of biomass is produced annually. All this must be adequately handled and disposed of. Conventional disposal methods include direct burning or spreading fields, but has economical costs environmental concerns, as well wasting source energy chemicals. This review summarizes the most recent proposals for use derived from tree cultivation oil production...
Nowadays, the transport sector is one of main sources greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution in cities. The use renewable energies therefore imperative to improve environmental sustainability this sector. In regard, biofuels play an important role as they can be blended directly with fossil fuels used traditional vehicles’ engines. Bioethanol most biofuel worldwide replace gasoline or form different gasoline-ethanol blends. Additionally, it building block obtain high added-value...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Crop residues as wheat straw are potential sources for fuel‐ethanol production an alternative to current based on starch‐ or sugar‐containing feedstocks. In this work, the effect of liquid hot water (LHW) process parameters, i.e. temperature (170 and 200 °C), residence time (0 40 min), solid concentration (5% 10% (w/v)) overpressure applied in reactor (30 bar no overpressure), pretreatment was studied using a full factorial experimental design. Pretreatment effectiveness...
Abstract BACKGROUND: In Mediterranean countries, olive tree pruning provides a widely available renewable agricultural residue with, currently, no industrial application. This could provide feedstock for the bioethanol industry. present study, biomass pretreated with both ‘liquid hot water’ and ‘dilute‐sulfuric acid’ was tested as substrate ethanol production. Three different process configurations, separate hydrolysis fermentation (SHF), simultaneous saccharification, prehydrolysis (PSSF),...
