Lower birefringence was obtained at higher drying temperature while, higher birefringence was observed when the air flow speed is increased.
The combination of the grooves and the solvent-trapping screen led to a higher critical pressure gradient, resulting in an improved drying limit at higher drying rates.
Here, the compositions lie well inside the coexistence curve at lower drying rates but converge with it at higher drying rates.
Industrial scale saccharification at high dry matter level involves simultaneous enzymatic hydrolysis and mechanical agitation of the slurry.
One approach to remedy such phase separation is to reduce the dry matter content; however, as this approach is detrimental to process cost efficiency, designing an appropriate pretreatment step to ensure pumpability at high dry matter content is preferable.
In order for biorefining schemes involving the production of cellulosic ethanol to be economically viable, it is necessary to run the enzymatic hydrolysis step at high dry matter contents in order to decrease the downstream cost of isolating the products.
One interesting point is that this approach is working highly effectively and efficiently even at high dry gel SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 200 (corresponding to 207 in the beta zeolite shell).
Household food wastes were utilized as raw material for the production of ethanol at high dry material consistencies.
We have demonstrated a unique possibility of using sweet sorghum stalks at high dry matter content in order to produce high SCO yields.
