Two-stage steam explosion pretreatment of softwood with 2-naphthol as carbocation scavenger
Christoph-Maximilian Seidel,Simone Brethauer,László Gyenge,Philipp Rudolf von Rohr,Michael Hans-Peter Studer +4 more
TL;DR: This work shows that a two-stage pretreatment greatly enhances the recovery of hemicellulosic sugars from spruce wood and can inhibit the fermentation as a single inhibitor but also synergistically together with HMF, furfural and acetic acid.

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.
