Patterns of the Ozone Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass for Subsequent Fermentation into Sugars

General patterns of ozone pretreatment for subsequent fermentation into sugars are found, based on samples of different types of plant biomass. It is shown that the reactivity of plant substrates pretreated with ozone is determined by the amount of consumed ozone, and the rate of ozone consumption depends on the content of water in a sample. Optimum values of moisture (similar to 2FSP) and ozone consumption (2-3 mol O-3/C9PPU lignin) are found.
