Distinct Roles of Dilute Acid and Ammonia in Steam Explosion of Corn Stover: Linking Biomass Structure to Bioconversion.
Dilute acid- and ammonia-assisted steam explosion (SE) are promising pretreatments for lignocellulosic biorefineries and induce distinct structural changes in biomass. Here, sulfuric acid-, phosphoric acid-, and ammonia-assisted SE were comparatively investigated within a wash-free framework to elucidate additive-depen...
