Revealing the influence of metallic chlorides pretreatment on chemical structures of lignin and enzymatic hydrolysis of waste wheat straw

Wei Tang et al.

Summary: Pretreatment with FeCl3 and AlCl3 can significantly increase enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of waste wheat straw, mainly by increasing xylan removal. Additionally, metallic chlorides pretreatment can also reduce the surface charge, hydrophobicity, and protein adsorption capacity of lignin from waste wheat straw.

The effects of chemical and structural factors on the enzymatic saccharification of Eucalyptus sp. samples pre-treated by various technologies

Mariska Thoresen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of different pre-treatments on enzymatic hydrolysis of Eucalyptus biomass, revealing that steam explosion pre-treatment significantly enhanced enzymatic saccharification. However, partial removal of lignin, increased S/G lignin subunit ratio, and lowered cellulose crystallinity showed no significant positive effects on biomass enzymatic hydrolyzability.

One-step peracetic acid pretreatment of hardwood and softwood biomass for platform chemicals production

Chandan Kundu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that thermally-assisted peracetic acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass effectively removes lignin with negligible loss of carbohydrates, achieving a 90% delignification rate. It significantly improves biomass digestibility, increasing glucan content, especially when conducted under mild temperature conditions.
