Alcohol Production from Pre-treated Maize and Paddy Lignocellulose Biomass in a Fabricated Unit
Abstract: An alcohol production unit was fabricated to handle 5 kg biomass per batch of paddy straw or maize stalk hydrolysis and fermentation. Various lignocellulose treatments were repeated from a previously reported study on paddy straw to compare it to that of maize stalk as a substrate biomass in a fabricated unit [1]. The pre-treatments to these lignocellulosic biomasses from maize stalk (MS) and paddy straw (MS) were compared after their …

Quantitative Mass Balance Modelling for the Synthesis and Production of Ten High-Volume Insecticides
Abstract: This study presents a detailed quantitative mass balance analysis for the industrial synthesis and production of ten high-volume insecticides: acequinocyl, acetamiprid, acynonapyr, alpha-cypermethrin, benzpyrimoxan, bifenazate, bifenthrin, bistrifluron, broflanilide, and bromofos, focusing on material flows, process efficiencies, and environmental implications. These compounds, spanning diverse chemical classes like neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, and meta-diamides, are essential for crop protection but pose challenges due to resource-intensive syntheses and waste generation. For each insecticide, standardized manufacturing …
