The impacts of deacetylation prior to dilute acid pretreatment on the bioethanol process

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Dilute acid pretreatment is a promising pretreatment technology for the biochemical production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. During dilute acid pretreatment, xylan depolymerizes to form soluble xylose monomers and oligomer...
