An Approach to Correlate Chemical Pretreatment to Digestibility Through Biomass Characterization by SEM, FTIR and XRD

A comprehensive study was carried out to assess the efficiency of different chemicals on the pretreatment of plant biomass, corn cobs. The efficiency was assessed based on its effect on subsequent hydrolysis of biomass for the conversion to fermentable sugars. Both alkali- and acid-based pretreatmen...
