The three lignocellulosic feedstocks were evaluated for their biomethane potential in their initial untreated form and after pretreatment using three different methods, hydrothermal (HT), dilute acid (DA), and steam explosion (SE).
The homogeneity of the feedstock was evaluated by torque rheometer, microstructure observations, binder burnout analysis, and an extrusion test.
Two different MFC configurations designed for handling solid wastes as a feedstock were evaluated in batch mode: a single compartment combined membrane-electrodes (SCME) design; and a twin-compartment brush-type anode electrodes (TBE) design (reversed T-shape MFC with two-air cathode) without a proton exchange membrane (PEM).
In addition to sorghum, feedstock quality was evaluated for cultivars of shrub willow (Salix spp).
In present study, waste cooking oil (WCO) was evaluated as feedstock for biodiesel production using free lipase in liquid.
The effect of feedstock properties in pretreatment requirements was evaluated at a range of pretreatment conditions (Table 2).
Spent coffee grounds (SCG), a processing by-product from the soluble coffee industry, was evaluated as a potential feedstock for preparing compressed logs for energy production.
The fermentation performance of the strain GS1.11-26 was evaluated in hydrolysates of three industrially relevant feedstocks: Arundo donax (giant reed), Picea abies (Norway spruce), and a 50/50 mixture of wheat straw and hay.
After mixing ZSM-5 zeolite with a FCC base catalyst, the catalytic performance was evaluated in a micro-fixed bed reactor using vacuum gas oil (VGO) as feedstock.
The efficacy of pretreatment for ethanol production was evaluated by: (i) the total yield of sugars recovered from both glucan and xylan in the feedstock; (ii) the cellulase loading; and (iii) the energy consumption for pretreatment process.
