Features of promising technologies for pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.
Nathan S. Mosier,Charles E. Wyman,Bruce E. Dale,Richard T. Elander,Y. Y. Lee,Mark T. Holtzapple,Michael R. Ladisch +6 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews process parameters and their fundamental modes of action for promising pretreatment methods and concludes that pretreatment processing conditions must be tailored to the specific chemical and structural composition of the various, and variable, sources of lignocellulosic biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin valorization: improving lignin processing in the biorefinery.
Arthur J. Ragauskas,Gregg T. Beckham,Mary J. Biddy,Richard P. Chandra,Fang Chen,Mark F. Davis,Brian H. Davison,Richard A. Dixon,Paul Gilna,Martin Keller,Paul Langan,Amit K. Naskar,John N. Saddler,Timothy J. Tschaplinski,Gerald A. Tuskan,Charles E. Wyman +15 more
TL;DR: Recent developments in genetic engineering, enhanced extraction methods, and a deeper understanding of the structure of lignin are yielding promising opportunities for efficient conversion of this renewable resource to carbon fibers, polymers, commodity chemicals, and fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pretreatment: the key to unlocking low-cost cellulosic ethanol
Bin Yang,Charles E. Wyman +1 more
TL;DR: A number of different pretreatments involving biological, chemical, physical, and thermal approaches have been investigated over the years, but only those that employ chemicals currently offer the high yields and low costs vital to economic success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinated development of leading biomass pretreatment technologies.
Charles E. Wyman,Bruce E. Dale,Richard T. Elander,Mark T. Holtzapple,Michael R. Ladisch,Y. Y. Lee +5 more
TL;DR: Comparative data were developed on sugar recovery from hemicellulose and cellulose by the combined pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis operations when applied to corn stover through a Biomass Refining Consortium for Applied Fundamentals and Innovation (CAFI).
Journal ArticleDOI
How biotech can transform biofuels
Lee R. Lynd,Mark Laser,David Bransby,Bruce E. Dale,Brian H. Davison,Richard Hamilton,Michael E. Himmel,Martin Keller,James D. McMillan,John Sheehan,Charles E. Wyman +10 more
TL;DR: For cellulosic ethanol to become a reality, biotechnological solutions should focus on optimizing the conversion of biomass to sugars.
