Pseudo-Lignin Formation during Dilute acid Pretreatment for Cellulosic Ethanol -Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science -Juniper Publishers JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-RECENT ADVANCES IN PETROCHEMICAL SCIENCE PSEUDO-LIGNIN FORMATION DURING DILUTE ACID PRETREATMENT FOR CELLULOSIC ETHANOL Authored by Arthur J. Ragauskas Dilute acid-based pretreatment represents one of the most important pretreatment technologies to reduce biomass recalcitrance and it has been successfully applied to a wide range of feedstocks. During this type of pretreatment, the relative lignin content usually increases partially due to the loss of carbohydrates. To Read more.....
