A novel hybrid organosolv: steam explosion method for the efficient fractionation and pretreatment of birch biomass

Abstract Background The main role of pretreatment is to reduce the natural biomass recalcitrance and thus enhance saccharification yield. A further prerequisite for efficient utilization of all biomass components is their efficient fractionation into well-defined process streams. Currently available...
