Amaranth lignocellulose as feedstock for bioethanol production: effect of microwave-assisted alkaline pretreatment on reducing sugar yield

Marx, S.; Xaba, N.; Chiyanzu, I. (ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2014)

A new class of lignocellulose derived from amaranth (Amaranthus Cruentus) represents a potential feedstock for bioethanol production. The lignocellulose material can be pretreated to yield high monomeric sugar concentrations ...
Development of a controller for fuel cell and supercapacitor application

Rautenbach, H.J.; Gouws, R.; Bessarabov, D.; Kruger, A.; Human, G. (CATSA (Catalysis Society of South Africa), 2014)

The growing demand for energy in the world causes a lot of pressure to the environment and the resources used to supply the energy. To ensure a continuous, more reliable and environmentally friendly energy supply system ...
Ultrasonic assisted biodiesel production

Schabort, C.J.; Marx, S.; Hövener, D. (ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2014)

One of the biggest hurdles in the production of biodiesel is the high production cost compared to petroleum-derived diesel. Even though the mechanical agitation utilised during biodiesel production is effective, it is ...
