2012 World Congress of Bioenergy-Renewable Energy for Sustainability
2012-05-10In view of the depletion of fossil fuel reserves together with the ongoing climate change, the utilization of renewable resources for the sustainable development of our society has become indispensible. Biomass, the only current sustainable source of organic carbon, is a promising alternative for fossil fuel to produce renewable chemicals and biofuels. Under this background, BIT’s 2ndWorld Con... -

Progress in co-production of biodiesel and lactic acid from rapeseed oil
2012-03-24In April 2011, biomass group (http://brg.groups.xtbg.ac.cn/) in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), CAS reported their new progress in biodiesel production and conversion of by-product glycerol to high-value-added products. Related results were published in the international journal “Bioresource Technology” (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2011.04.007), and filed a patent.Bio... -
Catalytic synthesis of biodiesel from Jatropha oil in acidic ionic liquids
2012-03-24In February 2011, biomass group (http://brg.groups.xtbg.ac.cn/) in XTBG, CAS reported their new progress on Jatropha biodiesel production. Results were published in the international journal “Bioresource Technology” (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2011.02.079), and filed a Chinese invention patent.Biodiesel is an environment-friendly, renewable, high-qualified and green fuel.

A new method for producing dye and nano-particles from wood
2012-03-24Wood is mainly composed of lignin (20%), cellulose (50%) and hemicellulose (25%). These components can be catalytic hydrolyzed into their corresponding monomers by conventional enzymes or liquid acids. Among them, cellulose and hemicellulose are hydrolyzed into sugars, such as glucose. Recently, Professor Zhen Fang (http://brg.groups.xtbg.ac.cn/) found that wood could be quickly dissolved and h... -
Noncatalytic fast hydrolysis of wood
2012-03-24Without any pretreatment (energy-saving) and catalyst (environment-friendly), 99% of wood could be dissolved and hydrolyzed in hot compressed water within several seconds (quickly). Wood particles were rapidly dissolved firstly upon fast heated, and then hydrolyzed into sugars in the hot compressed water. Professor Zhen Fang (http://brg.groups.xtbg.ac.cn/) proposed and built up a controllable r... -
Progress on the production of biodiesel from Jatropha oil
2012-03-24In July 2010, biomass group (http://brg.groups.xtbg.ac.cn/) in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), CAS reported their new progress on continuous production of biodiesel fromJatrophaoil. Jatropha curcas L., as the most promising plant for biodiesel production, receives much attention at both home and abroad. Jatropha oil has a high content of free fatty acids, which results in the lo... -
Fast dissolution and hydrolysis of wood
2012-03-24Biomass is renewable and rich, and mainly in the form of lignocelluloses. Its annual production is equivalent to ten times of the global energy consumption. Lignin (20%), cellulose (50%) and hemicellulose (25%) are three major constituents of a typical lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., wood and grass), all of which could be hydrolyzed. The production of biofuels based on edible food was unacceptab...
