The dilute-acid hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse was optimized using a statistical experimental design resulting in hydrolysates containing 57.25 g/L of xylose, which were fermented with a high inoculum concentration (10 g/L of the yeast Candida guilliermondii IM/UFRJ 50088). The addition of urea reduced the time of conversion (tC) to 75 h (without nitrogen source addition tC > 127 h), and, consequently, improving the rates of xylitol bioproduction. Fermentator experiments, using the optimized conditions, resulted in enhanced conversion rates, reducing tC to 30 h. The stability of the yeast in the hydrolysate was also verified in a 480-h cultivation.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), consisting 2-6 xylose residues, are a new type of prebiotic and functional oligosaccharides, and can usually be produced from the xylan-riched lignocellulosic biomass by acetic acid (HAc) hydrolysis, while the waste HAc was a problem to the environment. In this study, the main aim was to recover and reuse the waste HAc in XOS production. First, it was found that a temperature of 190 °C and a hydrolysis time of 60 min were favorable for XOS production by HAc hydrolysis, and the by-products xylose and furfural were the main inhibitors, hindering the reuse of the waste HAc.

The aquatic ecosystem is negatively impacted by organic dye contamination, which is now one of the factors leading to environmental pollution. The present investigation involved the synthesis of nanocellulose (NC) and nanocellulose modified with NiO (NC/NiO) composite using acid hydrolysis and a one-step precipitation technique for NC and NiO, respectively. Malachite green (MG) dye was catalytically removed from an aqueous solution using the two products, which were mechanically homogenized.

β-glucosidases (BGLs) are key enzymes in the depolymerization of cellulosic biomass, catalyzing the conversion of cello-oligosaccharides into glucose. This conversion is pivotal for enhancing the production of second-generation ethanol or other value-added products in biorefineries. However, the process is often cost-prohibitive due to the high enzyme loadings required.

As an "upstream" process in biorefinery, biomass dismantling can dismantle the natural stable structure of lignocellulosic biomass and separate its three major components. To increase the value of the entire biomass by fully utilizing the three main components (cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose), this study proposes a two-step decomposition system combining formic acid (FA) pretreatment and ethylene glycol-NaOH (EGA) dismantling, aiming to effectively convert sugarcane bagasse into xylose, fermentable glucose, and high-value lignin. In the first step, FA pretreatment removed 79.
