Investigation on Conversion Pathways in Degradative Solvent Extraction of Rice Straw by Using Liquid Membrane-FTIR Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, a liquid membrane-FTIR spectroscopy was used to examine the main liquid product (solvent-soluble) without sample modification, and measurements were performed at treatment temperatures of 200, 250, 300, and 350 °C for 0 min, and at 350°C for 60 min.

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.
