Resource-saving technology of processing common reed waste helps to obtain bioethanol and cellulose-containing material

Cleaning of soil and artificial reservoirs from Phragmites reed overgrowth and rational utilization can reduce the environmental burden. At the same time, the newly formed biomass creates additional problems of environmental pollution, especially in regions with intensive agricultural activity. The problem of finding rational ways of qualified utilization of biomass, in particular, of common reed...

Department of Petroleum, Gas and Carbon Materials Technology offers solutions for grape-based biofuels

The main disadvantage of currently existing technologies for bioethanol production using live microorganisms is the need for mandatory pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstock to remove lignin. Nevertheless, there is no information on the complex technology of grape cake processing with obtaining biofuel (BTII) and products of high feed value, aimed at reducing the cost of the...
