Sentence examples for mechanical refining in from inspiring English sources

In the current study, mechanical refining in a PFI mill has been applied to further improve the digestibility of deacetylated and lower-severity-pretreated corn stover.

All these process scenarios include deacetylation and/or mechanical refining, offering an indication of the value of deacetylation and mechanical refining in a low-severity dilute acid pretreatment process.

The results of mechanical refining in a PFI refiner are shown in Figure 6, where the large particles normally found after low severity pretreatment are ground to a really fine particle consistency and then subjected to enzymatic saccharification.

The process features a low-temperature (80 °C), dilute alkaline (40 kg NaOH/ODMT corn stover) deacetylation step followed by mechanical refining in an industrial size disk refiner under modest levels of specific energy consumptions (128 468 kWh/ODMT corn stover).

In a recent publication, we described a novel, simple process consisting of dilute alkali deacetylation followed by mechanical refining in a disk refiner followed by enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) for converting renewable biomass to low-cost sugars at high yields and at high concentrations [ 3].

Nine batches of deacetylated corn stover (1000 kg total) were prepared in this manner, sealed in plastic bags, loaded into 55-gallon drums, and shipped to the Andritz R&D facility in Springfield, OH, USA, for mechanical refining in their Sprout Model 401 36-inch (91 cm) commercial-scale disk refiner.

The contradictory results are possibly due to: 1) the variation in pretreatment type and conditions, which result in different substrates; 2) the mechanical refining mechanism, because different types of refiners have been utilized; and 3) the degree of mechanical refining.

Mechanical refining requires investment in additional equipment and operating costs for power consumption.

Mechanical refining was carried out in collaboration with Dr. Sunkyu Park at North Carolina State University using their bench-scale PFI refining mill.

Deacetylation and mechanical refining are shown to assist in achieving 90% cellulose yield in high-solids (20%) enzymatic hydrolysis.

SP generously helped provided the PFI equipment at NCSU and was involved in developing mechanical refining process.
