Progress in Physical and Chemical Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass (2013, background): “Changing the structure of biomass, typically increasing the enzyme accessible surface area, and reducing the degrees of polymerization of biomass, are possible by physical pretreatments such as size reduction (Zhu and Pan 2010; Harun et al. 2011).”
Recent updates on different methods of pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstocks: a review (2017, methodology): “However, this method requires significant amount of high energy making it a cost intensive method and difficult to scale up for industrial purposes (Zhu and Pan 2010).”
Recent updates on lignocellulosic biomass derived ethanol - A review (2016, background): “Most pretreatments require some sort of size reduction to achieve better efficiency in terms of sugar release in pretreatment and/or biological conversion (Zhu and Pan, 2010).”
Technological trends, global market, and challenges of bio-ethanol production. (2010, background): “…commercial demonstrations of some technologies, such as steam explosion, does not exist; 6) The recovery of pretreatment chemicals and wastewater treatment are also important issues in selecting pretreatment technologies in commercial production (Wu et al., 2009; Zhu and Pan, 2010; Souza, 2006).”
Enhancement of cellulose hydrolysis in sugarcane bagasse by the selective removal of lignin with sodium chlorite (2013, background): “The removal of hemicellulose and the increase in hydrophilicity of the residual lignin are also responsible for the enhancement of cellulose hydrolysis [27].”
A review of wood thermal pretreatments to improve wood composite properties (2013, background): “…enzymatic hydrolysis for the production of fermentable sugars (Sun and Cheng 2002; Yang and Wyman 2008; Hendriks and Zeeman 2009; Wang et al. 2009; Zhu and Pan 2010; Agbor et al. 2011); the production of wood composites requires processes such as chipping, reduction of particle size, and drying…”
