Chemocatalytic lignin valorization strategies are critical for a sustainable bioeconomy, as lignin, especially technical is one of the most available and underutilized aromatic feedstocks. Here, we provide first report an intensified reactive distillation–reductive catalytic deconstruction (RD-RCD) process to concurrently deconstruct lignins from diverse sources purify products at ambient pressure. We demonstrate utility RD-RCD bio-oils in high-performance additive manufacturing via...
Lignin availability has increased significantly due to the commercialization of several processes for recovery and further development alternatives integration into Kraft pulp mills. Also, progress in lignin characterization, understanding its chemistry as well processing methods have resulted identification novel lignin-based products potential derivatives, which can serve building block chemicals. However, all these not led successful chemicals materials. This is because most analyses...
Furfural is a versatile platform and multipurpose chemical that can be produced with no carbon efficiency loss from pentose sugars present in prehydrolysate streams. Existing processes for the production of furfural are typically energy-intensive limitations to recover value-added molecules byproducts such as lignin acetic acid. In this work, we demonstrate novel integrated biorefinery process significant sustainability improvements current pathways. Higher conversion C5 into achieved...
Although many consumers know that pulses are nutritious, long preparation times frequently a barrier to consumption of lentils, dried peas and chickpeas. Therefore, product has been developed which can be used as an ingredient in wide variety dishes without presoaking or precooking. Dried green peas, chickpeas lentils were soaked, cooked, homogenized spray-dried. Proximate analyses conducted on the pulse powders compared instant mashed potato product. Because health benefits may due part...
Summary Canola proteins extracted by electroactivated solutions were incorporated to gluten‐free biscuits made from blend of rice and buckwheat flours. Physical textural properties significantly influenced these proteins. Isolates concentrates did not behave in a similar way. A significant increase diameter was noted for all the supplemented samples. An thickness observed samples added with protein concentrate, whereas spread ratio decreased compared control. The hardness addition as changes...
Abstract One of the key pathways that can contribute to net‐zero goals is enhance use renewable and sustainable biofuels. However, uncertainties remain owing critical challenges selecting right biofuels technology most suitable for longer term. These be partly addressed using a multidisciplinary perspective scenarios multicriteria decision‐making analysis. Multicriteria decision support tools (DSTs) are powerful means conduct comparison at different readiness levels (TRLs). For this case...
Abstract Background information on process intensification including the rationale, basic methods in engineering, and interactions between material streams processing is given. The general rules are then examined with respect to heat mass transfer intensification, pertinent drying techniques technologies (e.g., microwave drying, pulse combustion intermittent by alternation pressure, etc.) highlighted. Milk for powdery product bakery production given as an example of water evaporation....
