The usage of lignocellulosic biomass in energy production for biofuels and other value-added products can extensively decrease the carbon footprint of current and future energy sectors. However, the infrastructure in the processing of lignocellulosic biomass is not well-established as compared to the fossil fuel industry. One of the bottlenecks is the production of the lignocellulolytic enzymes. These enzymes are produced by different fungal and bacterial species for degradation of the lignocellulosic biomass into its reactive fibers, which can then be converted to biofuel. The selection of an ideal feedstock for the lignocellulolytic enzyme production is one of the most studied aspects of lignocellulolytic enzyme production. Similarly, the fermentation enhancement strategies for different fermentation variables and modes are also the focuses of researchers. The implementation of fermentation enhancement strategies such as optimization of culture parameters (pH, temperature, agitation, incubation time, etc.) and the media nutrient amendment can increase the lignocellulolytic enzyme production significantly. Therefore, this review paper summarized these strategies and feedstock characteristics required for hydrolytic enzyme production with a special focus on the characteristics of an ideal feedstock to be utilized for the production of such enzymes on industrial scales.

Novel investigation of pyrolysis mechanisms and kinetics for functional groups in biomass matrix Liu, Ruijia; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Niu, Zhiyuan; Abbas, Qumber (2022-01-01) Biomass, as a renewable and sustainable energy resource, can be converted into environmentally friendly and practically valuable biofuels and chemical materials via pyrolysis. However, the process optimization and pyrolysis efficiency are restricted by the limited perception of the complicated mechanisms and kinetics for biomass pyrolysis. Here, to establish an in-depth mechanism model for biomass pyrolysis, we presented a novel investigation for the thermal evolutions and pyrolysis kinetics of the function...
Novel bimetallic mesoporous catalysts for hydrogen production through steam reforming of ethanol Şener, Canan; Doğu, Timur; Doğu, Gülşen; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) Hydrogen is considered as an alternative clean energy source due to the depletion of fossil fuels and related environmental problems. Steam reforming of bio-ethanol, has excellent potential for hydrogen production, with CO2 neutrality. Ni, Pd and Pt are the most active metals for steam reforming of ethanol. Improving catalytic activity of supported Ni catalyst by incorporating small amount of Pd or Pt is a successful method for increasing activity and stability of the catalyst. Development of active and sta...
Ethanol steam reforming with zirconia based catalysts Arslan, Arzu; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2014) Production of hydrogen, which has been considered as an environmentally clean ideal energy carrier, from abundant energy resources cleanly and renewably is essential to support sustainable energy development. Hydrogen production from bio-ethanol by steam reforming process is a promising approach, since bio-ethanol is the most available bio-fuel in the world and steam reforming of ethanol yields formation of 6 moles of hydrogen per mole of ethanol. Support material used for nickel based catalysts plays a cru...
Improvement in dye sensitized solar cells from past to present Mohiuddin, Obaidullah; Obaidullah, Madina; Sabah, Cumali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-01) Several emerging renewable technologies are available to satisfy the current energy demand and to minimize the effect of environmental degradation caused by high consumption of fossil fuels. These technologies are not mature enough to solve this problem but require more time for improving the efficiency, and cost reduction to become the economical alternative of fossil fuels. In this paper Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has been discussed in detail owing to advancement in the technology. Since each compon...
Optimum daily operation of a wind-hydro hybrid system Ercan, Eray; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2022-06-01) © 2022 Elsevier LtdDue to the negative effects of fossil fuels on the environment and health, energy supply is shifting towards renewables. The integration of renewable energy systems is challenging due to the intermittent nature of renewables, however this can be mitigated through storage. Uncertainty in electricity prices in spot markets further complicates the operation of these systems. Pumped storage hydropower is currently the most viable form of large-scale energy storage, and operation of renewable ...
