Role of pretreatment and conditioning processes on toxicity of lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates (2009, background): “Dilute Sulfuric Acid Pretreatment: This approach is one of the oldest and most studied pretreatment options, having been known since 1819 ( Galbe and Zacchi 2002 ).”
Production of bioethanol from wheat straw: An overview on pretreatment, hydrolysis and fermentation. (2010, methodology): “Alkaline pretreatment, ozonolysis, peroxide and wet oxidation pretreatments are more effective in lignin removal whereas dilute acid pretreatment is more efficient in hemicellulose solubilization (Galbe and Zacchi, 2002; Sánchez and Cardona, 2008; Tomas-Pejo et al., 2008).”
Effects of Two-Stage Dilute Acid Pretreatment on the Structure and Composition of Lignin and Cellulose in Loblolly Pine (2008, background): “With growing demand for renewable fuels, the production of bioethanol by enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass, is presently a topic of intensive interest and considerable research efforts [1–5].”
Outlook for cellulase improvement: screening and selection strategies. (2006, background): “In addition, two other pretreatments– steam explosion and organosolv–have been intensively investigated (Arato et al., 2005; Bura et al., 2002, 2003; Galbe and Zacchi, 2002; Ohgren et al., 2005; Pan et al., 2005a,b; Pye and Lora, 1991; Sassner et al., 2005 ; Soderstrom et al., 2003; Wingren et al.,…”
Feedstock pretreatment strategies for producing ethanol from wood, bark, and forest residues (2008, background): “Among all of the one-stage steam pretreatment processes, the highest yield came with a lower dosage of sulfuric acid, which may testify to the hydrolytic effect of acid on carbohydrates (Galbe and Zacchi 2002).”
Woody biomass pretreatment for cellulosic ethanol production: Technology and energy consumption evaluation. (2010, background): “Acid-catalyzed steam explosion is the most common steam pretreatment for woody biomass (De Bari et al., 2007; Galbe and Zacchi, 2002; Monavari et al., 2009b; Sassner et al., 2008a,b; Soderstrom et al., 2004; Wingren et al., 2003; Cullis et al., 2004; Ewanick et al., 2007).”
Hemicellulose biorefineries: a review on biomass pretreatments (2008, methodology): “Delignification methods, mostly employed in pulp and paper kraft and sulphite technologies, discharge huge amount of liquid and gaseous wastes such as sulfur-containing gas emissions.”
