Abstract Thermotolerant lactic acid producing bacteria, isolated from red soil of brick kiln was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing as Bacillus sonorenesis , which showed remarkable capability to ferment sugars of lignocellulosic biomass after pre-treatment, yielding 0.97 g/g lactic acid with overall productivity of 0.38 g L -1/ h. RSM was employed to optimize the sulphuric acid pre-treatment combined with dilute NaOH and hot water pre-treatment. Pretreated wheat straw biomass had 40.4% cellulose, 18.4% hemicellulose, 12.4% lignin and 28.2 g L -1 reducing sugar, while native wheat straw biomass had 36% cellulose, 25% hemicellulose, 20% total lignin, and 0.94 g L -1 reducing sugar. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the ordered and compact structure of wheat straw was destroyed upon pre-treatment. X-ray diffractogram (XRD) revealed 9.71% increase in crystallinity index ( CrI ) in pretreated biomass. FTIR spectrogram showed removal of lignin due to reduction of peak at 1640 cm -1 in pretreated biomass. Bacillus sonorenesis DGS15 is inhibitor tolerant (furfural (1.2 g L -1 ) and HMF (2.4 g L -1 )). Furfural was consumed after 72 h of fermentation and HMF got accumulated with 3.75-fold increase in concentration in the fermentation broth. In terms of final concentration, yield, and fermentation duration, this is the best performance of DGS15 for lactic acid production utilizing xylose, glucose as the carbon source. All of these findings showed that the thermotolerant Bacillus sonorenesis strain DGS15 is a novel, attractive candidate for producing lactic acid from lignocellulosic biomass.

Glucose and microcrystalline cellulose were selected as model compounds to investigate the formation of ethyl levulinate (EL). Optimal glucose and microcrystalline cellulose transformation conditions resulted in yields of 41.05 wt.% and 38.56 wt.% for EL, 0.73 wt.% and 2.63 wt.% for ethyl-glucoside (EG), 0.42 wt.% and 0.36 wt.% for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and 2.18 wt.% and 2.16 wt.% for 5-ethoxy methyl furfural (EMF), respectively. Increasing the reaction time and temperature resulted in an optimized yield of EL. These increases also resulted in decreased EG and EMF yield, and the change trend of HMF was not significant. EMF, HMF, and EG are intermediates in the formation of EL. Finally, we concluded that biomass conversion occurs first through cellulose degradation to glucose followed by the production of EG through alcoholysis and hydrolysis and dehydration of the reaction products to produce EL.

Wheat straw briquettes are high performance combustible products obtained by densification from the wheat straw biomass without the use of additional adhesives or additives. The purpose of the paper is to analyze and to detail the physical properties (SR EN ISO / CEI 322 for moisture content by method of drying and weighing, and effective density method according to SR EN ISO / CEI 323: 2005) and calorific properties of these briquettes (high and low calorific value according to ÖNORM M7135 using the XRY-1C / China Calorimeter and ash content according to ASTM D1102-84: 2013 and ISO 18122: 2015) and to make a comparison between these briquettes and other briquettes obtained from wooden biomass. The tested briquettes had a moisture content of 8%, an effective density of 1214 kg/m3, a high calorific value of 17.670 MJ/kg, the low of 17.525 MJ/kg and an ash content of 5.6%. All these values correspond to the permissible limits of the standards in the field. The final conclusion of the paper shows that wheat straw briquettes had physical and calorific properties similar to those of wooden biomass.
