Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is an energy crop ready to be used as a
source of fermentable sugars. Imidazole was proposed as a new solvent for biomass …

A lignin extraction procedure was developed for improving extraction yield, mitigating
structural changes, and retaining depolymerization performance of the lignin fraction from …

Pennisetum purpureum, commonly known as elephant grass, possesses an immense ability
to be recognized as bioenergy crop due to its high carbohydrate content and ample …

A novel pretreatment process of corn stover was established in this study by in situ
modification of lignin with poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) during low …

An effective hydrolysis method for recovering oligosaccharides directly from lignocellulosic
biomass has been investigated. Formic acid was selected as a hydrolysis reagent, due to its …

Pretreatment is extremely required in lignocellulosic bioethanol production to improve
enzymatic digestibility of biomass by disrupting lignin structure, reducing cellulose …

An integrated refining and pulping process for ensiled biomass from permanent grassland
was established on laboratory scale. The liquid phase, containing the majority of water …

Lignocellulosic biomass mainly consists of hemicellulose, lignin, and cellulose, which
differently affect the enzymatic digestibility of cellulose. As for the typical representative for …

Biomass contains cellulose, xylan and lignin in a complex interwoven structure that hinders
enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose. To separate these components in yellow poplar …

Pretreatment has been regarded as the most efficient strategy for conversion of
lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars. In this work, sulfolane pretreatment was …
