Sonochemistry (1) The Evolution of Ultrasonics Never Stops (Nanocellulose)
2025.05.29
Lignocellulose (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), the main component of plant cell walls, is broken down and cellulose is separated using powerful ultrasound. When cellulose is mixed with ethanol yeast and fermented, bioethanol is produced. All plants are raw materials for biofuels.
Furthermore, ultrasonic waves can be applied to cellulose to produce nanocellulose and nanocellulose fiber. We have obtained a patent for generating nano-cellulose fibers from lignocellulose by ultrasonic waves.
We can make ultrasonic biofuel from corn leaves, stalks, and kernels that are removed and discarded. Biofuel from thinned cedar wood. Biofuel from sugarcane bagasse. This is another evolution of ultrasound. by shibano
