    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Jennifer Fredes Skogh; Carolina Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Animal feed; filamentous fungi; bio-circular economic; mycoprotein; pretreatment;

    Abstract : Banana peels account for about 61 million tons of waste each year globally. The aim of this project was to investigate the possibility of using banana peels as a substrate to cultivate edible filamentous fungi. READ MORE

  3. 2. Lignin Biorefining: Swelling and activation of fibers for lignin extraction

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Ali Al Husseinat; [2023]
    Keywords : Biorefining; Carboxymethylation; Extraction; Lignin; Swelling; Bioraffinering; Extraktion; Karboxymetylering; Lignin; Svällning;

    Abstract : I världens omvandling mot en bioekonomi kommer lignocellulosa material spela en stor roll i ersättningen av fossila resurser. Lignin är den mest tillgängliga källan av förnybara och naturligt förekommande aromatiska ämne och den utgör 15–30% av ved. READ MORE

  4. 3. Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Stephanie Fjäll; [2022]
    Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; Agricultural residue; Lignocellulosic biomass; Mechanical pretreatment; Biogas production; Biorefinery; Chemical engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. READ MORE

  5. 4. Impact from Sargassum macroalgae on energy content in biogas, Grenada

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Alexander Klimkowicz Nordin; Elin Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study is part of the Minor Field Studies programme and includes a project carried out in Grenada in the spring of 2022. Grenada is one of several countries affected by the huge amounts of Sargassum macroalgae that has infested marine areas and coasts in the last decade. This has resulted in environmental, social and economic problems. READ MORE

  6. 5. Alkaline wet oxidation of biorefinery lignin from wheat straw

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Maja Lindblad; [2021]
    Keywords : alkaline wet oxidation; lignin oxidation; wheat straw; chemical pretreatment; biorefinery lignin; anaerobic digestion; response surface-modelling; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Climate change and depletion of fossil resources have generated a need for energy production based on renewable resources such as lignocellulosic biomass. Agricultural residues, like wheat straw, is lignocellulosic biomass that could contribute to the energy supply if it was used for biogas production. READ MORE
