METHODS FOR INCREASING SUGAR YIELD WITH SIZE-ADJUSTED LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS PARTICLES

摘要

A method of increasing sugar yield in a bio-product production process is provided comprising pretreating one or more size-adjusted lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) particles with a pretreatment, such as an ammonia pretreatment, wherein the one or more size-adjusted LCB particles form a substrate, with the one or more particles having an average particle size in at least one dimension greater than 5 mm.
