Abstract:Agricultural wastes as lignocellulosic biomass have shown good potential for producing bioethanol. There are three main steps in the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass; pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation. Expanding the surface area of biomass, dissolving hemicellulose and/or lignin, and reducing the particle sizes of biomass are the most important goals of the pretreatment stage. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are used widely in the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass. In this stud… Show more
