Pretreatment is a vital process for efficient saccharification and utilization of lignocellulose. In this study, crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production was used for pretreatment to facilitate selective saccharification via fast pyrolysis. Due to the efficient removal of alkali and alkaline earth metals (>95.0%) and lignin (79.4%) by crude glycerol pretreatment, the yield of levoglucosan was evaluated to 25.2% as compared to those from pure glycerol pretreated (14.4%) and untreated sugarcane bagasse (8.4%). Meanwhile, the production of inhibitors (e.g. acetic acid, phenol) to biocatalysts was also obviously inhibited from crude glycerol pretreated biomass. Consequently, this work provided a cost-effective and eco-friendly pretreatment mode, which could not only make full utilization of crude glycerol, but also improve the fermentability of lignocellulosic pyrolysate.

Lipases, enzymes that perform the hydrolysis of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, present a potential paradigm shift in the realms of food and detergent industries. Their enhanced efficiency, energy conservation and environmentally friendly attributes make them promising substitutes for chemical catalysts. Motivated by this prospect, this present study was targeted on the heterologous expression of a lipase gene, employing E.

Glycerol carbonate (GC) can be produced from glycerol (GL), a low-value byproduct in the biodiesel industry. In this work, continuous processes of GC production via transesterification from crude GL and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were developed using Aspen Plus. Two cases were considered, and their process performances were compared.

Densification of biomass through pelletizing offers a promising approach to producing clean biofuels from renewable resources. This study, which investigates the impact of additive blends on wheat straw pellet making and upgrading the physiochemical properties, has revealed exciting possibilities. Five additives, including sawdust (SD), bentonite clay (BC), corn starch (S), crude glycerol (CG), and biochar (BioC), were chosen for this study.
