Evaluating Sustainable Practices for Managing Residue Derived from Wheat Straw

Author(s): Shanmugam H; Raghavan V; Rajagopal R; Goyette B; Lyu L; Zhou S; An C;

Farm leftovers, particularly crop residues, are a key source of renewable energy in Canada. The nation's robust agricultural industry provides ample biomass, derived from forestry and agriculture resources, for energy generation. Crop residues, such as straws and husks, play a crucial role in this biomass reservoir, contributing to biofuel production ...

Diverse Applications of Biomass-Derived 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and Derivatives as Renewable Starting Materials

Author(s): Chacón-Huete F; Messina C; Cigana B; Forgione P;

This Review summarizes recent efforts to capitalize on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and related furans as emerging building blocks for the synthesis of fine chemicals and materials, with a focus on advanced applications within medicinal and polymer chemistry, as well as nanomaterials. As with all chemical industries, these fields have historically relied ...

Screening of novel fungal Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 enzymes identifies three novel dual feruloyl/acetyl xylan esterases

Author(s): Dilokpimol A; Verkerk B; Li X; Bellemare A; Lavallee M; Frommhagen M; Nørmølle Underlin E; Kabel MA; Powlowski J; Tsang A; de Vries RP;

Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are important enzymes for plant biomass degradation and are both present in Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 (CE1) of the Carbohydrate-Active enZymes database. In this study, ten novel fungal CE1 enzymes from different subfamilies were het ...

Species compositions mediate biomass conservation: the case of lake fish communities

Author(s): Arranz I; Fournier B; Lester NP; Shuter BJ; Peres-Neto PR;

Environmental and geographical factors are known to influence the number, distribution and combination of species that coexist within ecological communities. This, in turn, should influence ecosystem functions such as biomass conservation, or the ability of a community to sustain biomass from small to large organisms. We tested this hypothesis by assessin ...

Use of biomass-derived adsorbents for the removal of petroleum pollutants from water: a mini-review

Author(s): Vahabisani A; An C;

Over the past decades, a large amount of petroleum pollutants has been released into the environment resulting from various activities related to petrochemicals. The discharge of wastewater with petrochemicals can pose considerable risk of harm to the human health and the environment. The use of adsorbents has received much consideration across the enviro ...
