Recent Developments in Pretreatment Technologies for Production ofLignocellulosic Biofuels
Author(s): Bo Zhang and Abolghasem ShahbaziBo Zhang and Abolghasem Shahbazi
Rising oil prices and uncertainty over the security of existing fossil fuel reserves, combined with concerns over global climate change, have created the need for new transportation fuels and bioproducts to substitute for fossil carbon-based materials. Ethanol is considered to be the next generation transportation fuel with the most potential, and significant quantities of ethanol are currently being produced from corn and sugar cane via a fermentation process. Utilizing lignocellulosic biomass as a feedstock is seen as the next step towards significantly expanding ethanol production. The biological conversion of cellulosic biomass into bioethanol is based on the breakdown of biomass into aqueous sugars using chemical and biological means, including the use of hydrolotic enzymes. From that point, the fermentable sugars can be further processed into ethanol or other advanced biofuels. .. View More»
