Autohydrolysis was used as a pre-treatment method for the selective hydrolysis of hemicelluloses of four lignocellulosic materials: eucalypt wood chips (EWC), corn cobs (CC), wheat straw (WS) and brewery’s spent grain (BSG), and the process was optimized towards the production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS). The effects of temperature, both at isothermal (150-190ºC), and non-isothermal (up to 240ºC) conditions,...
The challenge of the future integrated biorefineries is the full economically utilization of all biomass components with the simultaneously production of fuels and chemicals, preferably of added-value. This can only be achieved by the selective fractionation of the lignocellulosic biomass into its polymeric components, thus increasing their individual upgradeability to enhance the process economics. To reach th...
