Enhancement of anaerobic digestion of rice straw by amino acid-derived ionic liquid.

This study proposes a novel method to enhance methane production from anaerobic digestion using an amino acid-derived ionic liquid, glycine hydrochloride, ([Gly][Cl]), as an exogenous additive. After 40 days of digestion with 5% [Gly][Cl], the cumulative methane production was 115.56 mL/g VS, which was 73% higher than that of the control group (without additive).

Isoprene Production on Enzymatic Hydrolysate of Peanut Hull Using Different Pretreatment Methods.

The present study is about the use of peanut hull for isoprene production. In this study, two pretreatment methods, hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid (HPAC) and popping, were employed prior to enzymatic hydrolysis, which could destroy the lignocellulosic structure and accordingly improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis. It is proven that the isoprene production on enzymatic hydrolysate with HPAC pretreatment is about 1.
