  • Optimization of the soda-ethanol delignification stage for a rice husk biorefinery 

    Dagnino, Eliana Paola; Felissia, Fernando E.; Chamorro, Ester Ramona; Area, María Cristina (2017-03-01)
    The aim of this work was to optimize the delignification of the hemicelluloses-free fraction of rice husk to obtain fractions of lignin, cellulose, and inorganics, which could be valorized in the context of the rice husk ...
  • Studies on lignin extraction from rice husk by a soda-ethanol treatment : kinetics, separation, and characterization of products 

    Dagnino, Eliana Paola; Chamorro, Ester Ramona; Felissia, Fernando E.; Area, María Cristina (2018-01-01)
    The delignification kinetics of lignocellulosic waste is an important tool for the study of the technical-economic viability of biorefinery processes. The aim of this work was to study the kinetic of lignin extraction by ...
