Towards Efficient Lignin Removal: A Box–Behnken Design Approach to Corncob Delignification Using Deep Eutectic Solvents
Efficient pretreatment is essential for overcoming lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrance and enabling its use in biotechnological processes. In this study, corncob, an agricultural by-product rich in cellulose and hemicellulose, was subjected to acid pretreatment to remove hemicellulose and subsequently delignified usi...
