Biocompositional and thermodecompositional analysis of South African agro-waste corncob and husk towards production of biocommodities
(Wiley, 2017)Biocompositional and thermodecompositional analyses of locally abundant agro-wastes of South African corn were evaluated for their potential utilization as biocommodities via thermochemical and bioconversion processing. ... -
Butanol as a drop-in fuel: a perspective on production methods and current status
(Springer, 2020)The rising fossil fuel prices as well as negative climatic conditions caused by fossil fuel emissions have prompted technologists and scientists to develop alternative value-added fuels. These fuels can be produced from ... -
Chemical and structural changes of biomass during pyrolysis and the influence on gasification reactivity in coal-biomass blends
(North-West University, 2018)In this study, the conversion of biomass for thermochemical energy applications is studied. In the first section, the effect of biomass upgrade, via torrefaction, on the structural and chemical properties of lignocellulosic ... -
Effect of operating parameters on hydrothermal liquefaction of sugarcane bagasse
(EARET, 2018)Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermochemical process that produces various products from lignocellulosic feedstocks. In this study sugar cane bagasse was used as feedstock for HTL. Experiments were carried out ... -
Optimization of the enzymatic conversion of maize stover to bioethanol
(North-West University, 2010)The severe effects associated with global warming and the rapid increase in oil prices are the driving forces behind the demand for clean carbon–neutral and biofuels such as bioethanol. Research studies are now focusing ...
