TL;DR: This work demonstrated effective conversion of CS and corn together to ethanol using either dilute alkali or dilute acid pretreatment for effective conversion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of corn cellulose conversion on the performance of dry-mill process Solid loading and pH were optimized first for better design of cellulose conversions in the process.

TL;DR: In this paper, an in situ acid pretreatment method was developed during distillation and was integrated into the dry-mill process, where the pretreated stillage was either recycled to the liquefaction step or hydrolyzed using cellulase followed by C6/C5 sugar co-fermentation.

TL;DR: In this article, dilute alkali, liquid hot water (LHW) and dilute acid (DA) were used to pre-treat DDGS for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation.

TL;DR: In this paper , four promising routes were summarized to assemble the new industrial plants for cellulose-based fuels and chemicals, including integration of cellulase production systems into current cellulosic ethanol processes, combination of processes and facilities and application of enzyme-free saccharification processes and computational approaches to increase the bioethanol yield and optimize the integration process.
