Alkaline Pretreatment of Biomass for Ethanol Production and Understanding the Factors Influencing the Cellulose Hydrolysis
Gupta, Rajesh (2008-05-15)
Alkaline pretreatments were investigated in connection with bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol. Corn stover and two different batches of hybrid poplar (High Lignin (HL) and Low Lignin (LL)) were the ...
Analysis of the Enzyme System Responsible for Fermentation Product Formation by Bacillus licheniformis
Pruitt, Ginger (2010-11-16)
The enzyme system belonging to Bacillus licheniformis involved in the conversion from pyruvate to products was studied and its medium for activity optimized. Various lysis techniques including cell disruption by Misonix ...
Bioconversion of Corn Stover into Value-Added Chemicals: Dilute Sulfuric Acid Pretreatment, Xylo-Oligosaccharides Production, and Lactic Acid Fermentation
Zhu, Yongming (2005-12-15)
In the first part of this dissertation, dilute-acid pretreatment of corn stover was investigated under high-solids condition using a percolation reactor. High-solids condition in a pretreatment process can lead to high ...
Bioconversion of Lignocellulosic Material into Ethanol: Pretreatment, Enzymatic Hydrolysis, and Ethanol Fermentation
Kim, Tae (2004-12-15)
Four different novel processes, ammonia recycle percolation (ARP), low-liquid ARP, two-stage (hot water-ARP) percolation, and soaking in aqueous ammonia (SAA) at room/moderate temperature, were investigated for pretreatment ...
Biohybrid and Biomimetic Platforms for Programmable Therapeutic Delivery
Venkatesh, Siddarth (2008-08-15)
Drug and gene delivery carriers such as hydrogels and metallic nanoparticles have shown remarkable promise as programmable platforms in the targeted delivery of their payload. In this work, the fundamental principles of ...
Development and Application of the Surface Laser Induced Fluorescence Technique
Donath, Gregory (2008-12-15)
The mechanisms that control the mass transfer of gases across the air-water interface are not well understood. Current models for air and water gas transfer have limited effectiveness because they are based on large scale ...
Kinetic Investigation and modeling of cellulase enzyme using Non-crystalline cellulose and Cello-oligosaccharides
Peri, Suma (2006-08-15)
Enzymatic hydrolysis of Cellulose depends on many factors; physical properties of substrate (composition, crystallinity, degree of polymerization etc.), enzyme synergy (origin, composition etc.), mass transfer (substrate ...
Multi-Enzyme System for the Rapid Metabolism of Ethanol: Kinetics and Conjugation Within pH-Sensitive Hydrogel
Eggert, Matthew (2012-05-07)
Biohybrid materials, or materials utilizing biological molecules in their rational design, are prime therapeutic carrier candidates to perform detoxification processes. Specifically, catabolic processing of alcohol is a ...
