Progress in the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for fuel-ethanol production

Yan Yong-jie

Abstract

Lignocellulosic biomass is considered as one of the most promising feedstock for fuel-ethanol production due to its renewable and environment-friendly nature.This review summarizes the technological processes of fuel-ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass,including concentrated acid hydrolysis,dilute acid hydrolysis and enzyme hydrolysis,and their technical characteristics are analysized.The acid pretreatment-enzymatic hydrolysis process is considered to be the focus of research and development in the coming years.
