The conversion of biomass to fuels via cutting-edge technologies: Explorations from natural utilization systems

Hydrochar from Sargassum muticum: a sustainable approach for high-capacity removal of Rhodamine B dye

“…9 One of the main drawbacks of using biomass is its high moisture content. 10 However, especially with lignocellulosic materials, it is necessary to modify the feedstock by physical or chemical pre-treatments in order to meet the requirements of thermochemical conversion processes.…”

Efficient photocatalytic conversion of xylose to co-produce xylonic acid and CO via a dual S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst between carbon nitride and CuInS2 quantum dot-sensitized ZnIn2S4

“…In recent years, biomass has gained considerable attention as the only renewable carbon source in nature. 3,4 As compared with fossil resources, biomass offers several advantages, including wide distribution, low cost, and recyclability. It has the potential to produce high-value chemicals, functional materials, and biofuels through biomass valorization.…”

Analysis of Interactions Occurring during the Pyrolysis of Lignocellulosic Biomass

“…The overexploitation of fossil fuels and serious environmental problems connected with their excessive use have made authorities and scientists look for ‘clean’ and renewable alternative fuels [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to the use of biomass in the sustainable production of fuels and/or chemicals due to its wide availability and renewable and environmentally friendly nature [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Various thermochemical technologies including pyrolysis, gasification, combustion, hydrothermal liquefaction, and hydrothermal carbonization are used for the conversion of biomass to biochar, bio-oil, and non-condensing gases [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”
