Abstract/Description:
Lignocellulose biomass is a common feedstock for second-generation ethanol. However, when lignocellulosic biomass is hydrolyzed fermentation inhibitors along with the preferred sugar molecules are created. The goal of this project was to detoxify the lignocellulosic biomass and remove all furanic compounds using biochar as an adsorbent.
