Biorefinery is elucidated by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as ‘the processing of different biomass to various biomass-based materials such as food, chemicals, feed and bioenergy such as biofuels and heat in a sustainable way’ [ 33]. Biomass is a replenishable carbon source and has several benefits: carbon sequestration, bioenergy generation and bioproducts. Biomass can be used as a valuable raw material in a biorefinery only if well planned and systematic techniques of conversion and valorization are available. All types of biomass generated from agriculture, aquaculture, industries and households can be used in biorefinery. Biomass is a good energy source with an abundant supply but low energy density. Low calorific value, seasonality and geographic location are barriers to biomass utility [ 34]. However, using multi-criteria analysis could select suitable locations for the instalment of biorefineries. The integrated biorefinery method transforms the various conversion wastes into valuable bioproducts. A biorefinery is a basic framework provision designed for biomass raw feed such as LCB, algae and other wastes, where all the conversion techniques are integrated in a systematic way which leads to the production of sustainable bioproducts such as bioenergy, biofuels, biochemicals and other valued-added bioproducts [ 16, 35]. Although biorefinery is a renewable method used to transform biomass by different treatment methods to value-added products using different technologies, its execution and application mainly depend on its availability, characteristics and economic value. The best high-quality substrate is ideal for small animals such as turtle snakes as well as for large terrarium animals such as dragons, and rodents such as guinea pigs and rabbits. includes processes like pyrolysis or gasification that produce synthesis gas (CO + H 2), as shown in Fig. 1. The gas produced is assorted with a catalyst and employed to generate ethanol and other liquid co-products. At temperatures 500–600 °C, biomass pyrolysis produces bio-oil whose hydroprocessing converted it to the precursors for drop-in fuels. At 700 °C, biomass gasification resulted in syngas that converted to bioethanol by metallic catalyst (aluminium, cobalt, etc.) through Fischer–Tropsch synthesis or microorganisms. Methanol production was first noticed in some cases, which on catalytic shift produce ethanol and provides 80% yield of it. Syngas solubility and gas to liquid mass transfer are barriers to the commercialization of syngas fermentation technology. Ethanol recovery cost is also very high, which will become cost-effective if the ethanol concentration is 15% (v/v) [ 60]. Biochemical processMat-Stat: Finally, you can use an On/Off, or Mat-Stat which will remain on until the desired temperature is reached, when it will turn itself off again. However, I don’t use these, as I find them the most inaccurate of the three thermostat types.

When placed on the wall, you will need to have the setup temperature set a little lower, due to it being further away from the direct heat of the basking spot.

Prog Energy Combust Sci 38:522–550. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pecs.2012.02.002 In this type, nutrients are supplied intermittently during the process to reduce the substrate associated growth inhibition. It encourages the uniformity of the living system and gives more yield than batch type. It is also a substitute for repressing mixing problems associated with immense solid load, as excessive substrate viscosity is prevented [ 117]. In this type, inhibition problems are also reduced due to reduced unproductive enzyme binding. Lu et al. [ 118] produced bioethanol from the pre-treated liquid hot water reed using fed-batch (S-SSSF) fermentation. The optimal conditions for the experiment were 36 °C temperature for fermentation of pre-treated reed; 18-h pre-hydrolysis was carried out at a temperature of 50 °C and 4.8 pH. The inclusion of fed-batch substrate (6.4%) was done after 6th h of the 18-h enzymatic pre-hydrolysis. Zhang et al. [ 116] investigated pre-treated corncob (acid–alkali: H 2SO 4-NaOH) for ethanol production using the fed-batch SSF process. The fed-batch substrate (6%) was supplemented with the process for the first 24 h and obtained an ethanol concentration of 84.7 g/l after 96 h. The overall yield and cellulose conversion during the experiment were 79.6% and 82.3%, respectively. Continuous Type Operation Mode I also find many brands of aspen quite dusty. This has been known to cause issues regarding the snakes airways, although these issues are rare.

Hemicellulose is the second primary polymer of LCB. Its structure is amorphous and composed of various heteropolymers, including xylan, galactomannan, arabinoxylan and xyloglucan [ 51]. Hemicellulose appears branched in structure with the availability of functional groups like acetyl, methyl, glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid. Hardwood hemicellulose contains xylan, and softwood hemicellulose mainly contains glucomannans. The main forces of interaction in hemicellulose are non-covalent. It is attached to cellulose fibrils’ surface, thus appearing as an amorphous matrix material. It forms a complex of bonds in the plant cell wall, which provides robustness by associating cellulose fibrils to microfibrils and cross-links with lignin [ 52].

And it’s what I would suggest using in a vivarium.

You’ll need to replace your corn’s bedding completely once every 1-2 months. At this point, the general build-up of dirt, bacteria, etc. will start to take its toll. Pros: Cypress mulch looks nice, again helping to create a natural-looking enclosure. It holds on to moisture, doesn’t mold easily, and maintains its shape when a snake burrows into it.
