Biofuel manufacturing from woody biomass: effects of sieve size used in biomass size reduction

Zhang, Meng; Song, Xiaoxu; Deines, T. W.; Pei, Zhijian J.; Wang, Donghai (2012-07-27)

Size reduction is the first step for manufacturing biofuels from woody biomass. It is usually performed using milling machines and the particle size is controlled by the size of the sieve installed on a milling machine. ...
A consistency mapping for the effects on enzymatic hydrolysis sugar yield using two sugar yield definitions in cellulosic biofuel manufacturing

Zhang, Meng; Song, Xiaoxu; Deines, Timothy W.; Pei, Zhijian J.; Wang, Donghai (2013-11-26)

Two different sugar yield definitions (cellulose-based and biomass-based) were used in reported studies investigating the relationship between biomass particle size and enzymatic hydrolysis sugar yield. It is noticed that ...
Size reduction of poplar wood using a lathe for biofuel manufacturing: effects of biomass crystallinity on sugar yield

Zhang, Meng; Song, Xiaoxu; Pei, Zhijian; Deines, Timothy W.; Wang, Donghai (2014-05-22)

Poplar wood can be used as a feedstock for manufacturing cellulosic biofuel (ethanol) as an alternative to petroleum-based liquid transportation fuel. Producing biofuel from poplar wood involves reducing poplar wood into ...
Thermal properties of big bluestem as affected by ecotype and planting location along the precipitation gradient of the Great Plains

Zhang, Ke; Johnson, Loretta C.; Nelson, Richard; Yuan, Wenqiao; Pei, Zhijian J.; Sun, Xiuzhi; Wang, Donghai (2014-03-13)

The objective of this research was to study the effect of ecotype and planting location on thermal properties of big bluestem. Three big bluestem ecotypes (CKS, EKS, ILL) and a cultivar (KAW) were harvested in 2010 from ...
Ultrasonic vibration-assisted pelleting for cellulosic biofuel manufacturing: investigation on power consumption

Zhang, Qi; Zhang, Pengfei; Pei, Zhijian J.; Wang, Donghai (2013-05-22)

Cellulosic ethanol produced from cellulosic biomass is an alternative to petroleum-based transportation fuels. Raw cellulosic biomass has low density, causing high costs in their storage, transportation, and handling. ...
Ultrasonic vibration-assisted pelleting of wheat straw: a predictive model for energy consumption using response surface methodology

Song, Xiaoxu; Zhang, Meng; Pei, Zhijian J.; Wang, Donghai (2013-10-23)

Cellulosic biomass can be used as a feedstock for biofuel manufacturing. Pelleting of cellulosic biomass can increase its bulk density and thus improve its storability and reduce the feedstock transportation costs. Ultrasonic ...
