Lignocellulosic materials such as wood, grass, and agricultural and forest residues are
promising alternative energy resources that can be utilized to produce ethanol. The yield of …

A number of pre‐treatment methods have been developed during the last few decades to
overcome biomass recalcitrance. Although the mechanisms of these pre‐treatments are …

Pseudo-lignin, which can be broadly defined as aromatic material that yields a positive
Klason lignin value and is not derived from native lignin, has been recently reported to form …

The influence of cellulose accessibility and protein loading on the efficiency of enzymatic
hydrolysis of steam pretreated Douglas-fir was assessed. It was apparent that the lignin …

Hygroscopicity, low durability, and low thermal resistance are disadvantages of
lignocellulosic materials that also plague wood–plastic composites (WPCs). Hemicellulose …

Spruce chips steam-pretreated at various conditions, according to a central composite
design, were used for investigating the influence of pretreatment conditions on enzymatic …

Alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) has several attractive features as a pretreatment in the
lignocellulosic biomass‐to‐ethanol pipeline. Here, the feasibility of scaling‐up the AHP …

Homogeneous mesoporous lignocellulose aerogels were prepared from hardwood using 1-
allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMImCl) as an ionic liquid (IL) via cyclic liquid nitrogen …

Although organosolv pretreatment removed substantial amounts of lignin and xylan, the
yield of glucan which is a major sugar source for fermentation to ethanol is more than 90% in …

Reed is a widespread‐growing, inexpensive, and readily available lignocellulosic material
source in northeast China. The objective of this study is to evaluate the liquid hot water …
