  2. 1. Biogas Production from Lignocelluloses : Pretreatment, Substrate Characterization, Co-digestion and Economic Evaluation

    Author : Anna Teghammar; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biogas; lignocellulose; pretreatment; anaerobic digestion; co-digestion; substrate characterization; economic evaluation; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Biogas production from organic materials can be used as a renewable vehicle fuel, provide heat and generate electricity and can thereby reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. This thesis focuses on the biogas production based on lignocelluloses. There is an abundant availability of lignocelluloses, constituting 50% of the total biomass worldwide. READ MORE

  4. 2. Zygomycetes and cellulose residuals : hydrolysis, cultivation and applications

    Author : Patrik Lennartsson; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; zygomycetes; fungi; lignocelluloses; ethanol; fish feed; animal feed; dimorphism; airlift; pretreatment; Biotechnology; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : Zygomycetes is a class of fungi living worldwide as saprobes, as part of mycorrhizae, and as parasites. Humans have used some zygomycetes for centuries in the production of traditional foods, e.g. Indonesian tempe. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pretreatment of cellulosic waste and high rate biogas production

    Author : Solmaz Aslanzadeh; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biogas; Two-stage anaerobic digestion; N-methylmorpholine N-oxide NMMO pretreatment; Lignocelluloses; Textile waste; Biofuels; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : The application of anaerobic digestion technology is growing worldwide, mainly because of its environmental benefits. Nevertheless, anaerobic degradation is a rather slow and sensitive process. One of the reasons is the recalcitrance nature of certain fractions of the substrate (e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Bioprocessing of Recalcitrant Substrates for Biogas Production

    Author : Maryam M Kabir; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anaerobic digestion; biogas; lignocellulose; wool; keratin; pre-treatment; co-digestion; dry digestion; economic evaluation; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : The application of anaerobic digestion (AD) as a sustainable waste management technology is growing worldwide, due to high energy prices as well as increasingly strict environmental regulations. The growth of the AD industry necessitates exploring new substrates for their utilisation in AD processes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Integration of first and second generation bioethanol processes using edible filamentous fungus Neurospora intermedia

    Author : Ramkumar B Nair; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : First- and second-generation bioethanol; Integration; Neurospora intermedia; Edible filamentous fungi; Wheat straw; Wheat bran; Whole stillage fiber; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Establishing a commercial, lignocellulose-based, second-generation ethanol process has received several decades of attention by both researchers and industry. However, a fully economically viable process still remains a long-term goal. READ MORE
