TREATMENT OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC SUBSTRATES WITH OZONE

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of lignocellulosic substrates having a high digestibility. This process consists in bringing said lignocellulosic substrates, which have been ground beforehand and optionally moistened in the case of dry substrates, in a stirred reactor, into contact with ozone produced from a carrier gas, the ozone being present in the carrier gas in a concentration of between 80 and 200 g/m<3 >NTP, with a residence time of between 8 and 40 min in said reactor. The invention further relates to the lignocellulosic substrates treated in this way.
