Surfactants play a vital role in the removal of lignin and subsequent enzymatic
saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass. In this work, a surfactant-mediated alkaline …

Surfactants play a vital role in the delignification and saccharification of lignocellulosic
biomass. A strategy for coupling surfactant-assisted alkaline pretreatment (SAP) with …

Enhanced enzymatic saccharification of Miscanthus (MC) biomass, based on a novel
benzenesulfonic acid (BA)-induced fractionation at mild condition as the pretreatment, gives …

The alkali pretreatment has been widely applied for various lignocellulose to enhance its
cellulosic utilization through addressing textural recalcitrance. However, the large …

Miscanthus is a leading bioenergy crop that represents an enormous lignocellulose
resource for biofuels and bioproducts. However, as lignocellulose recalcitrance leads to …

The alkalis sodium ethoxide and calcium hydroxide were combined to pretreat the abundant
agricultural waste sugarcane leaf (SCL). The pretreatment conditions were optimized using …

Surfactant-assisted pretreatment has been widely reported to improve the enzymatic
hydrolysis of lignocellulose by promoting removal of xylan and lignin. Hence, this work …

A novel pretreatment process using NaOH/Urea solution at room temperature was
developed to overcome recalcitrance of lignocellulose for efficient bioconversion of …

A major challenge in converting lignocellulose to biofuel is overcoming the resistance of the
biomass structure. Herein, sequential dilute acid–alkali/aqueous ammonia treatment was …

The native form of lignocellulosic biomass is resistant to enzymatic breakdown. A well-
designed pretreatment that can promote enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass with reasonable …
