Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of ionic liquid pretreatment on the chemical composition, structure and enzymatic hydrolysis of energy cane bagasse
TL;DR: IL-treated energy cane bagasse resulted in significant lignin removal with slight glucan and xylan losses, and exhibited a much higher enzymatic digestibility than untreated or water-treated biomass, which can be attributed to delignification and reduction of cellulose crystallinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethanol production from sorghum by a microwave-assisted dilute ammonia pretreatment.
TL;DR: The efficiency of a batch microwave-assisted ammonia heating system was investigated as pretreatment for sweet sorghum bagasse and its effect on porosity, chemical composition, particle size, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation into ethanol evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme hydrolysis and ethanol fermentation of dilute ammonia pretreated energy cane.
TL;DR: The enzymatic digestibility was related to the removal of lignin and hemicellulose, perhaps due to increased surface area and porosity resulting in the deformation and swelling of exposed fibers as shown in the SEM pictures.
