A Two-Step Ferric Chloride and Dilute Alkaline Pretreatment for Enhancing Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Fermentable Sugar Recovery from Miscanthus sinensis

A two-step process was proposed to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis of <i>Miscanthus sinensis</i> based on a comparative study of acid/alkaline pretreatments. Ferric chloride pretreatment (FP) effectively removed hemicellulose and recovered soluble sugars, but the enzymatic hydrolysis was no...
