Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Biochar Quality from Palm and Cacao Waste through Variation of Pyrolysis Temperature and Duration as a Soil Amendment MaterialIwan Saputra, Sugeng Prijono et al.Palm and cacao waste are high-quality raw materials for producing quality biochar that enhances soil fertility, provided that the biochar production process takes into account various aspects of pyrolysis. The pyrolysis conditions, such as temperature and duration, significantly impact the quality of the biochar produced as a soil amendment. The type of raw material, pyrolysis temperature, duration, and other conditions … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 27 Jul 2024 · 5,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Influence of Trichoderma viride Cellulase Enzyme Concentration on Saccharification of Waste Paper MaterialsKhomotso M. P. Mokatse, M. Alfred Mogale, J. Pieter H. Van WykEnzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials is one of the major steps in the commercialization process of converting cellulosic substrates into bio-products. The saccharification of lignocellulosic materials is usually achieved by a synergistic action of an enzyme mixture consisting of multiple cellulase enzymes such as endo-and exo-glucanase, cellobiohydrolase and β-glucosidase with different mode of actions. During the enzymatic hydrolysis of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,456 accessesView PDFCite
