Evaluation of Combined Dilute Acid-Kraft and Steam Explosion-Kraft Processes as Pretreatment for Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Pinus radiata Wood Chips

The combination of hemicellulose pre-hydrolysis by dilute acid or steam-explosion followed by kraft pulping was one approach evaluated in this work to generate pulps from radiata pine wood chips amenable to saccharification by enzymatic hydrolysis. Dilute acid (combined severity factor, CS = 1.67) a...
