Sulphite addition during steam pretreatment enhanced both enzyme-mediated cellulose hydrolysis and ethanol production
Abstract Sulphite addition during steam pretreatment of softwoods under acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions was assessed to try to minimize lignin condensation. Although pretreatment under neutral/alkaline conditions resulted in effective lignin sulphonation, non-uniform size reduction was obser...
