Current breakthroughs in the hardwood biorefineries: Hydrothermal processing for the co-production of xylooligosaccharides and bioethanol

Pablo G. del Rio et al.

Summary: Hydrothermal treatment is highlighted as a promising first step for lignocellulosic biorefineries using hardwood due to its high selectivity for hemicellulose solubilization as xylooligosaccharides, but it lacks efficiency in cellulose to glucose conversion. Therefore, combining with strategies like delignification or mixing with other renewable resources is suggested to increase ethanol production.

Summary: This study examines the feasibility of using FPBO made from non-food woody biomass in a micro-gas turbine, showing challenges in achieving stable flame with 100% FPBO due to fuel polymerization, which can be addressed by adding EtOH to improve volatility. The internally-mixed nozzle demonstrated cleaner emissions and required less EtOH addition for stabilization compared to the externally-mixed one. Injector modification or fuel upgrading is necessary prior to the deployment of FPBO in replacing fossil oils.
