Bioethanol production from oil palm empty fruit bunch with SSF and SHF processes using Kluyveromyces marxianus yeast

TL;DR: In this article, an acid-alkali pretreatment with a dilute acid solution (at substrate loading 12.50%w/v, sulfuric acid concentration 0.2%m, at 121°C for 53min) followed by an alkali solution (NaOH 5%m for 20min), which resulted in 72.10%wt cellulose yield with hemicellulose and lignin yields of 3.24%wt and 17.60%wt, respectively.
