• Direct mechanical energy measures of hammer mill comminution of switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover and analysis of their particle size distributions (2009, background): “Preprocessing research is focused on developing processes that would result in reduced bioconversion time, reduced enzyme usage and/or increased ethanol yields [8].”
• Overview of biomass pretreatment for cellulosic ethanol production. (2009, background): “It employs various bases, including sodium hydroxide([118-121]), calcium hydroxide (lime)([23,122,123]), potassium hydroxide([9]), aqueous ammonia([124,125]), ammonia hydroxide([126]), and sodium hydroxide in combination with hydrogen peroxide or others([127-129]).”
• Biomass pretreatment: fundamentals toward application. (2011, background): “OP is one of the few pretreatments process that does not require significant size reduction of feedstock to achieve satisfactory cellulose conversion making the process less energy intensive especially with the pretreatment of woody biomass (Pan et al. 2005; Silverstein et al. 2007; Zhua et al. 2009”
• Specific surface to evaluate the efficiencies of milling and pretreatment of wood for enzymatic saccharification (2009, neutral): “However, all these pretreatment processes, except the organosolv process, require significant size reduction of the feedstock to fine particles (powders or sawdusts) by mechanical means to achieve satisfactory cellulose conversion (Silverstein et al., 2007; Kim and Lee, 2005; Pan et al., 2005).”
• Biological treatment of crop residues for ruminant feeding: A review (2013, background): “However, these treatments have their own limitations and few are environment unfriendly (Silverstein et al., 2007).”
