METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROCESSING LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIALS AND RELATED COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A method comprising: (a) providing a lignocellulosic substrate; (b) contacting said lignocellulosic substrate with an extractant comprising a water-soluble organic solvent to form an extracted substrate and a miscella; (c) removing miscella from said extracted substrate; and (d) hydrolyzing said extracted substrate using a chemically catalyzed process.
