Biorefinery development by the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass has attracted much
interest in recent years. The pretreatment process plays an important role in the
commercialized production of several products, including cellulosic ethanol. From the point
of view of the integrated utilization of lignocellulosic biomass, organosolv pretreatment
provides a pathway for the biorefining of biomass. This chapter gives an introduction about
the organosolv process and presents/discuss the integration of this technique for sugarcane …
