BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 393:130138.

Abstract
The efficient conversion of cellulose to high value-added products is important for the utilization of cellulose biomass. Achieving efficient cellulose hydrolysis and timely products separation is the essential target. Herein, a modified sulfonated graphene oxide/polydopamine deposited polyethersulfone (mGO(SO3H)-PDA/PES) membrane reactor, combining in the same unit a conversion effect and a separation effect, was prepared by suction filtration and subsequent polymerization and adhesion. The structure of PES membrane and deposition of PDA was regulated to sure that small molecules can pass through the membrane, while cellulose could not. As a result, the mGO(SO3H)-PDA/PES membrane realized the efficient cellulose hydrolysis and timely products separation under cross-flow circulation mode at 0.1 MPa, avoiding the further degradation of reducing sugar products. The yields of total reducing sugar (TRS) and glucose in separated hydrolysate reached 93.2 % and 85.5 %, respectively. This strategy provides potential guidance for efficient conversion of cellulose.

Abstract
This paper presents the study concerning the impact of the basic operational parameters on the performance of an innovative microfiltration membrane reactor applied for enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. The concept and basic hydrodynamics of the reactor with tubular ceramic membranes and a propeller agitator were shown. Besides, the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis of corn straw was studied to check reactor functionality. It has been proven that the proposed reactor construction can improve the microfiltration of lignocellulosic suspension by reducing the cake layer on the membrane surface. Increasing the rotational speed of the propeller agitator also improved the filtration efficiency. The permeate flux during the microfiltration experiments was lower for smaller lignocellulose biomass fraction (D < 425 μm) when compared to the less fragmented corn straw (425 < D < 900 μm). For larger solid fractions, a stirring speed increase enhanced the separation efficiency regardless of the differences in biomass concentration. In contrast, this trend for the finer biomass fraction was only noticeable for the highest used biomass concentration (C = 2.0%). Considering the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn straw, membrane separation of reaction products positively influenced the process yield, and the results depended on the applied operational parameters.

Abstract
Abstract
Integrating a reaction process with membrane separation allows for effective product removal, favorable shifting of the reaction equilibrium, overcoming eventual inhibitory or toxic effects of the products and has the advantage of being energy and space saving. It has found a range of applications in innovative biotechnologies, generating value-added products (exopolysaccharides, antioxidants, carboxylic acids) with high potential for separation/ concentration of thermosensitive bioactive compounds, preserving their biological activity and reducing the amount of solvents and the energy for solvent recovery. Evaluating the effectiveness of such integrated systems is based on fluid dynamics and mass transfer knowledge of flowing matter close to the membrane surface – shear deformation rates and shear stress at the membrane interface, mass transfer coefficients. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based approach for assessing the effectiveness of integrated stirred tank bioreactor with submerged membrane module is compiled. It is related to the hydrodynamic optimization of the selected reactor configuration in two-phase flow, as well as to the concentration profiles and analysis of the reactor conditions in terms of reaction kinetics and mass transfer.

Abstract
In this review, for the first time, the conjugation of the major types of enzymes used in biorefineries and the membrane processes to develop different configurations of MBRs, was analyzedfor the production of biofuels, phytotherapics and food ingredients. In particular, the aim is to critically review all the works related to the application of MBR in biorefinery, highlighting the advantages and the main drawbacks which can interfere with the development of this system at industrial scale. Alternatives strategies to overcome main limits will be also described in the different application fields, such as the use of biofunctionalized magnetic nanoparticles associated with membrane processes for enzyme re-use and membrane cleaning or the membrane fouling control by the use of integrated membrane process associated with MBR.

Abstract
Agricultural residues pose a valuable resource. Through microbial fermentations, a variety of products can be obtained, ranging from fuels to platform chemicals. Depending on the nature of the organic residue, pretreatment and hydrolysis are needed prior to fermentation in order to release fermentable sugars. Continuous set-ups are common for the production of methane or ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass, however, this does not apply for the fermentative generation of biochemicals, an approach that conserves chemical functionality present in biomass. Certainly, continuous set-ups could beneficially contribute to bioeconomy by providing techniques allowing the production of biochemicals in a sustainable and efficient way. This review summarizes research conducted on the continuous pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass, and particularly towards the production of the biobased molecules: Succinic and lactic acid.

Abstract
Processing complexities associated with different lignocellulosic bioethanol production stages have hindered reaching full commercial capacity. Therefore, in this study efforts were made to remediate some issues associated with hydrolysis and fermentation, by the integration of immersed membrane bioreactors (iMBRs) into lignocellulosic bioethanol production process. In this regards, double-staged continuous saccharification-filtration and co-fermentation-filtration of wheat straw slurry was conducted using iMBRs at filtration fluxes up to 51.0 l.m-2.h-1 (LMH). The results showed a stable long-term (264 h) continuous hydrolysis-filtration and fermentation-filtration with effective separation of lignin-rich solids (up to 70% lignin) from hydrolyzed sugars, and separation of yeast cells from bioethanol stream at an exceptional filtration performance at 21.9 LMH. Moreover, the effect of factors such as filtration flux, medium quality and backwashing on fouling and cake-layer formation was studied. The results confirmed the process intensification potentials of iMBRs in tackling commonly faced technical obstacles in lignocellulosic bioethanol production.

Abstract
AbstractIntegrating biological treatment with membrane separation has found a broad area of applications and industrial attention. Submerged membrane bioreactors (SMBRs), based on membrane modules immersed in the bioreactor, or side stream ones connected in recycle have been employed in different biotechnological processes for separation of thermally unstable products. Fouling is one of the most important challenges in the integrated SMBRs. A number of works are devoted to fouling analysis and its treatment, especially exploring the opportunity for enhanced fouling control in SMBRs. The main goal of the review is to provide a comprehensive yet concise overview of modeling the fouling in SMBRs in view of the problematics of model validation, either by real system measurements at different scales or by analysis of the obtained theoretical results. The review is focused on the current state of research applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling techniques.
