Progress in Organosolv and Steam Explosion Pretreatments of Oil Palm Fibers for Biomacromolecules Extraction

Plant fibers are excellent sources of biomacromolecules, but the extraction of these chemicals critically depends on pretreatments on the biomass. In this work, steam explosion followed by acetosolv or ethanosolv pulping were evaluated as pretreatments for cellulose nanocrystal and lignin extraction...
