Title: Processes for pretreating lignocellulosic biomass: A review

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7171656· OSTI ID:7171656

This paper reviews existing and proposed pretreatment processes for biomass. The focus is on the mechanisms by which the various pretreatments act and the influence of biomass structure and composition on the efficacy of particular pretreatment techniques. This analysis is used to identify pretreatment technologies and issues that warrant further research.
