“…while the NaOH pretreatment, the weakness of the lime pretreatment are lengthy residence time, a huge amount of wash water, or time consuming neutralization process and the formation of large quantities of salts, such as Ca (SO) 4 . Lime pretreatment has the following advantages: lime is the least expensive alkali at $0.06/kg; is safe to handle; and can be simply recovered.…”

“…The "Aggressive Biofuels Growth" scenario aims to restore 10% of gasoline production with biofuels by 2010, 15% by 2015, and 20% by 2020 all over most of the world [40]. Due to the Chinese government law of renewable energy published on January 1 st , 2006, showed that biofuels from renewable sources would account for 5% of primary energy by 2010 and 10% by 2020 [31,4]. The increase in largely ethanol yields in ethanol production from agricultural residues (e.g.…”

Abstract:Wheat straw is a sufficient agricultural by-product with a low market price. The biofuel produced from lignocellulosic material exhibits energetic, economic and environmental benefits in contrast to bio-ethanol from starch or sugar. Until now, physical and chemical difficulty caused by the close connection of the main components of lignocellulosic biomass, discourage the hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose to fermentable sugars. The main purpose of pretreatment is to enhance the enzyme accessibility improving digestibility of cellulose. Every pretreatment has a particular effect on the fraction of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, thus different pretreatment methods and conditions should be selected for the development of subsequent hydrolysis and fermentation steps. This paper reviews the most importance technologies for ethanol production from lignocellulose and its represent several vital qualities that should be marked for low-price and promote pretreatment processes.

“…Although aquatic algae have many advantages compared to terrestrial biomass, the production costs of bio-fuel from algae remain a substantial bottleneck to their large-scale use, and their commercial application is still under consideration [7]. Alternatively, owing to their availability and relatively low costs of production, the effective utilization of current industrial food wastes (IFWs) for the production of BDF is expected [8,9].…”

Abstract:The development of new energy sources has become particularly important from the perspective of energy security and environmental protection. Therefore, the utilization of waste resources such as industrial food wastes (IFWs) in energy production is expected. The central research institute of electric power industry (CRIEPI, Tokyo, Japan) has recently developed an energy-saving oil-extraction technique involving the use of liquefied dimethyl ether (DME), which is an environmentally friendly solvent. In this study, three common IFWs (spent coffee grounds, soybean, and rapeseed cakes) were evaluated with respect to oil yield for biodiesel fuel (BDF) production by the DME extraction method. The coffee grounds were found to contain 16.8% bio-oil, whereas the soybean and rapeseed cakes contained only approximately 0.97% and 2.6% bio-oil, respectively. The recovered oils were qualitatively analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The properties of fatty acid methyl esters derived from coffee oil, such as kinematic viscosity, pour point, and higher heating value (HHV), were also determined. Coffee grounds had the highest oil content and could be used as biofuel. In addition, the robust oil extraction capability of DME indicates that it may be a favourable alternative to conventional oil extraction solvents.
