Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is provided in which pretreated and densified cellulosic biomass particulates can be hydrolyzed at a high solids loading rate as compared with the solids loading rate of loose hydrolysable cellulosic biomass fibers. The resulting high concentration sugar-containing stream can be easily converted to biofuels or to an entire suite of other useful bioproducts.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: enzymatically hydrolyzing one or more hydrolysable densified biomass particulates to produce a convertible sugar-containing stream, wherein said densified biomass particulates are produced by: subjecting a quantity of plant biomass fibers containing lignin and/or hemicellulose to a pretreatment to cause at least a portion of the lignin and/or hemicellulose in said biomass fibers to move to an outer surface to produce a quantity of pret…
