Processing of materials derived from sweet sorghum for biobased products

Abstract: This study examines synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) discourse in a bilingual chat setting consisting of Spanish-speaking learners of English and Englishspeaking learners of Spanish. Participants were members of a telecollaboration involving 80 students at North Carolina State University and the University of Puerto Rico. Data were derived from two chat groups, one of four students and the other of five students, engaged in nine 1-hour chat sessions (a half hour in English and a half hour in … Show more

“…The combination of biorefinery principles with a promising feedstock opens new routes for the production of a wide range of fuels and chemicals on renewables feedstock [52]. A recent review gives comprehensive conception about sweet sorghum as an energy crop and summarizes processing methods aiming a wide variety of product both from juice and bagasse [53]. Another study was specialized on biofuel production [54], and another one gives a summary of sweet sorghum as an energy crop [55].…”

“…Photoperiod-sensitive (PS) sorghum, due to its advantages of drought tolerance, relatively low lignin content, and high soluble sugar content, is a promising biomass source for bioethanol production (Xu et al, 2011a). Pretreatment is a crucial step in biomass-ethanol conversion; its goals are to break the lignin/hemicellulose seal, disrupt the crystalline structure of cellulose, and increase the total surface area of cellulose to make the polysaccharides more susceptible to enzyme hydrolysis (Mosier et al, 2005;Whitfield et al, 2012). Numerous pretreatment methods have been employed for biomass processing, such as steam explosion, dilute acid, alkali, ammonia fiber explosion, and supercritical CO 2 (Wu et al, 2011).…”

“…Another important advantage is the sowing as the sorghum is planted by seeds, this process becomes easier than the sugar cane case which is planted by the stalk cuts (WHITFIELD et al, 2012). However, one of the difficulties in the use of industrial media is the fact that bacteria are much sensitivity to any variability of culture media.…”
