Tohoku researchers develop efficient hydrodynamic reactor for pretreatment of biomass

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have developed a new system combining hydrodynamic cavitation with sodium percarbonate (SP) (an environmentally benign oxidation reagent) for the efficient pre-treatment of biomass. The high local energy from cavitation is known to disintegrate microcrystalline cellulose to cellulose nanofibers.
