One of the greatest challenges in biorefinery is to reduce biomass' recalcitrance and enable
valorization of lignin into higher value compounds. Likewise, green solvents and …

Oil palm frond (OPF) is one of the most abundant lignocellulosic biomass wastes found in
the palm oil industry. However, the recalcitrant nature of OPF makes it hard to produce …

A deep eutectic solvent (DES), consisting of choline chloride and oxalic acid (ChCl-OX), was
used to pretreat corncob. Three different recycling procedures were evaluated in terms of the …

A low-cost and green biorefinery will increase the economy and revenue from lignocellulosic
biomass. This study demonstrated the effect of two-pot sequential pretreatment, comprising …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are recognized as promising environmentally friendly
solvents for lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) pretreatment, especially considering their …

Oil palm biomass is a readily available raw material for production of green chemicals such
as levulinic acid and ethanol. One of the major problems on the conversion of this biomass …
