Thus, development of a pretreatment method which is cost efficient, environmentally benign, and highly efficient for enhanced consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass to hydrogen is essential.
It is apparent that besides high hydrogen production efficiency, fungal pretreatment also offered several advantages over other pretreatments such as being environmentally benign and energy efficient.
The advances reported here will have an immense impact on organic chemistry as an expedient, environmentally benign and highly efficient tactic capable of accessing optically active aldols.
The challenge of developing a future commercial hydrogen economy clearly still remains, though: what are the energy efficient, environmentally benign and cost effective pathways to deliver hydrogen to the consumer?
A high-temperature, hydrogen-based downstream plasma treatment was found to be both benign to the ULK and efficient.
Chiral amines are important building blocks for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, and efficient and environmentally benign methods are required for their preparation in high yield, productivity, product concentration and enantiomeric purity (Höhne and Bornscheuer 2009).
The process is energy-efficient, environmentally benign, and is much cheaper than common synthesis methods based on purified hydrocarbon precursors.
In general, the described method is efficient and environmentally benign, and has significant advantages over traditional template approaches to the large-scale production of hollow inorganic materials.
