Pretreatment technologies for an efficient bioethanol production process based on enzymatic hydrolysis: A review. (2010, background): “Addition of an oxidant agent (oxygen/H2O2) to alkaline pretreatment (NaOH/Ca(OH)2) can improve the performance by favoring lignin removal (Carvalheiro et al., 2008).”
Lignocellulose as raw material in fermentation processes (2010, unknown): “If present in the raw material to be hydrolyzed, hemicellulose is also removed by using concentrated acids [12].”
A review of wood thermal pretreatments to improve wood composite properties (2013, background): “Lignin could act as a binder (especially in wet environments) (Mason 1928; Byrd 1979; Suchsland and Woodson 1986; Back 1987; Angles et al. 2001), as a bio-protection agent (Agbor et al. 2011; Chirkova et al. 2011), and as a water repellent (Horn 1979; Winandy and Rowell 1984; Hosseinaei et al.…”
