Ammonia-Derived Acidic Compound Pretreatment: Fractionation of Lignocellulosic Biomass for Boosting Enzymatic Hydrolysis to Efficiently Produce Bioethanol by Yeast.
Development of pretreatment to reduce biomass recalcitrance is essential to produce fermentable sugars, which is used as carbon sources for microorganisms to synthesize biofuels. Lignin in lignocellulose is generally removed by alkaline pretreatment (e.g., NH4OH, ethanediamine), while the severe environment causes equi...
