The biorefining process of lignocellulosic biomass has recently emerged as one of the most
profitable biofuel production options. However, pretreatment is required to improve the …

This review provides a critical analysis of the state of the art of dilute acid pretreatment
applied to lignocellulosic biomass. Data from 63 publications were extracted and analysed …

The trend in the modern world is to replace fossil fuels with green energy sources in order to
reduce their environmental impact. The biorefinery industry, within this premise, needs to …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a highly sustainable and largely carbon dioxide neutral feedstock
for the production of biofuels and advanced biomaterials. Although thermochemical …
