Hemicellulose bioconversion (2003, background): “These include concentrated acid [45], dilute acid [117], alkaline [71], SO2 [17], hydrogen peroxide [48], steam explosion (autohydrolysis) [40], ammonia fiber explosion (AFEX) [22], wet-oxidation [123], lime [64], liquid hot water [73], CO2 explosion [21], and organic solvent treatments [15].”

Pretreatments to enhance the digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass. (2009, background): “Furfural and other inhibitors like (probably) soluble lignin compounds also form a problem for the fermentation step, because such compounds can inhibit, or even stop the fermentation (Laser, 2001; Laser et al., 2002).”

Trends in biotechnological production of fuel ethanol from different feedstocks. (2008, methodology): “Laser et al. (2002) mention that under optimal conditions, this method is comparable to dilute acid pretreatment but without addition of acids or production of neutralization wastes.”
