Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.
Ye Sun,Jiayang Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

Preliminary estimate of the cost of ethanol production for SSF technology
TL;DR: In this article, the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) based wood-to-ethanol process was investigated and the combined effects of optimizing SSF enzyme loading, increasing plant capacity to 10,000 dry t/d, and reducing wood cost to $34/dry t are to reduce the preliminary estimate of the production cost to about $0.95/gal.

An improved process for converting cellulose to ethanol
I. S. Goldstein,J. M. Easter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved process for converting cellulose to ethanol was developed, which used concentrated HCl at moderate temperatures with mechanical action to hydrolyze the cellulose in quantitative yield and recovery of the acid from the hydrolyzate by electrodialysis to provide concentrated sugar solutions for fermentation.
