Enzymatic pretreatment of steam-exploded birch wood for increased biogas production and lignin degradation
Hashemi, Seyedbehnam; Joseph, Prajin; Mialon, Antoine; Moe, Størker T.; Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Lien, Kristian Myklebust (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lignocellulose is readily available biomass for biogas production; however, due to its rigid structure, it requires pretreatment to obtain a maximum energy extraction. In this study, steam explosion (SE) (220 °C and 10 ... -
Formation of 5-methylfurfural and 2-acetylfuran from lignocellulosic biomass and by Cr3+-catalyzed dehydration of 6-deoxyhexoses
Moe, Størker T.; Marcotullio, Gianluca; Tanase-Opedal, Mihaela; Brusletto, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)During autocatalyzed steam explosion of lignocellulose, polysaccharides in the cell wall are hydrolyzed and dehydrated to form various furaldehydes. In addition to furfural, 5-methylfurfural and 2-acetylfuran were identified ... -
Morphology of lignin structures on fiber surfaces after organosolv pretreatment
Joseph, Prajin; Ottesen, Vegar; Tanase-Opedal, Mihaela; Moe, Størker T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The redeposition of lignin to the fiber surface after organosolv pretreatment was studied using two different reactor types. Results from the conventional autoclave reactor suggest that redeposition occurs during the cooling ... -
A Norwegian steam explosion biorefinery
Moe, Størker T.; Hermundsgård, Dag Helge; Tanase-Opedal, Mihaela; Brusletto, Rune (Chapter, 2023) -
Polymer properties of softwood organosolv lignins produced in two different reactor systems
Joseph, Prajin; Tanase-Opedal, Mihaela; Moe, Størker T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lignin, the second most abundant biopolymer on earth and with a predominantly aromatic structure, has the potential to be a raw material for valuable chemicals and other bio-based chemicals. In industry, lignin is underutilized ...
