Ultrasound from cedar, corn, and sugarcane Separating cellulose
Ultrasound from cedar, corn, and sugarcane Separating cellulose to make nanocellulose and nanocellulose fibers
Successful development of environmentally friendly biofuel production technology
(Head office: Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Miyuki Shibano), the world’s only manufacturer of powerful ultrasonic deburring technology, has succeeded in developing a technology to separate cellulose from the world’s three largest biomass (Japanese cedar, American corn, and sugarcane residue/bagasse from Okinawa, Thailand, and Brazil) using powerful ultrasonic technology. The company has succeeded in developing a technology for stable production of ethanol by separating cellulose from the world’s three major biomass (Japanese cedar, U.S. corn, and sugarcane residue/bagasse from Okinawa, Thailand, and Brazil) using powerful ultrasound.
Without using sulfuric acid or enzymes, the destructive impact force of ultrasonic waves crushes and separates lignin to extract cellulose. This is the birth of a technology that can contribute greatly to protecting the rich forests of Japan and to solving the world’s environmental and food problems. Patent pending.
