Journal ArticleDOI

Features of promising technologies for pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.

Nathan S. Mosier, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2005 - 
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

Coordinated development of leading biomass pretreatment technologies.

Charles E. Wyman, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2005 - 
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

Process and economic analysis of pretreatment technologies.

Tim Eggeman, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: Five pretreatment processes for the liberation of sugars from corn stover are compared on a consistent basis and there is little differentiation between the projected economic performances of the pretreatment options.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative sugar recovery data from laboratory scale application of leading pretreatment technologies to corn stover

Charles E. Wyman, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: Overall sugar yields from hemicellulose and cellulose in the coupled pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis operations were high and high for all of the pretreatments with corn stover, and high-pH methods were found to offer promise in reducing cellulase use provided hemICEllulase activity can be enhanced.

Treatment of biomass to obtain fermentable sugars

James B. Dunson, +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, a low concentration of aqueous ammonia at high biomass concentration is used to pre-treat the pre-processed biomass and then it is further hydrolyzed with a saccharification enzyme consortium.
