Published: Dec. 1, 2019

Abstract The implementation of biorefineries based on lignocellulosic materials as an alternative to fossil-based refineries calls for efficient methods fractionation and recovery the products. focus biorefinery concept utilisation biomass has shifted, from design more or less energy-driven biorefineries, much versatile facilities where chemicals energy carriers can be produced. sugar-based platform requires pretreatment materials, which very recalcitrant, improve further processing through enzymatic hydrolysis, other downstream unit operations. This review summarises development in field (and some extent, fractionation) various materials. number publications indicates that plays a important role realised full scale. traditional methods, example, steam (explosion), organosolv hydrothermal treatment are covered review. In addition, rapidly increasing interest chemical employing ionic liquids deep-eutectic solvents discussed reviewed. It concluded huge variation makes it difficult find general process biorefinery. Therefore, is define “the best pretreatment” method. end, this depends proposed application, any recommendation suitable method must thorough techno-economic evaluation.
