Research Progress in Pretreatment Technology of Lignocellulose
The double pressure of worldwide energy shortage and environmental deterioration makes it of great significance to find alternatives to fossil fuels to alleviate the global energy crisis and solve the environmental problems of the earth,so as to realize the sustainable development of human society.Lignocellulose is the only renewable organic carbon source on Earth,with large reserves,wide distribution,and low costs,so it may be able to replace fossil fuels.The special structure of lignocellulose hinders its resource utilization.This article introduces the physical,chemical,biological,and combined pretreatment methods of lignocellulose in recent years.It also introduces the mechanism of each pretreatment method and analyzes their advantages and disadvantages,hoping to provide reference for the more efficient development and utilization of lignocellulose.
