Mixed-acid and organic-amine pretreatments for effective sugar production from corncob
Effective pretreatment is essential for producing fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, mixed-acid and organic-amine pretreatments were conducted for corncob deconstruction, component fractionation, lignin removal, and enzymatic saccharification. The sulfuric acid/maleic acid system (1:1, w/w)...
