Screening method for Enzyme-based liquefaction of corn stover pellets at high solids

Understanding the Influence of Water-Soluble Compounds from Unpretreated Corn Stover Pellets on Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose

“…An understanding of native aqueous extractives may also play a pivotal role in enzyme-mediate processing of biomass prior to pretreatment such as enzymatic liquefaction, which takes advantages of lignocellulolytic enzymes to turn high concentrations of unpretreated biomass solids in water into a slurry with desired rheological properties enabling flow. , The formation of flowable slurries allows biomass to be transported into a pretreatment reactor using a pump and moved more easily between unit operations, offering the potential to address bottlenecks in solid handling and feeding within a biorefinery.…”
