PhD Oral Defense: Fractionation of Sweet Sorghum Bagasse using Steam-Assisted and Microwave-Assisted Methods

PhD  Oral Defense of Jiby Kudakasseril Kurian, Bioresouce Engineering

The production system of biofuels and biomaterials in the centralized biorefineries is challenged not only by the low bulk density material but also due to its variation in the availability and composition of the lignocellulosic part. Hence, on-farm production of denser and uniform material for the biorefinery operations is tne of the solutions to address the aforementioned challenge. Under this circumstance, this study investigated the potential of steam-assisted and microwaveassisted treatments for the on-farm processing of lignocellulosic materials.
