Bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol and biobutanol
Lignocellulosic biomass that is obtained as agriculture by-products and/or industrial
residues is a nonfoodstuff competitive feedstock for the sustainable production of important
liquid fuels such as bioethanol or biobutanol and chemical products through the biorefinery
processes. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the main components of lignocellulosic
biomass. From the biochemical point of view, high amounts of sugars present in cellulose
and hemicellulose can be chemically produced, using acid as the catalyst, or enzymatically …
