Overview
Pretreatment is normally used to prepare substrates such as lignocelluloses and algal biomass for various processes, including microbial and enzymatic. These substrates might have high level of recalcitrance, contain inhibitors for the microorganisms, indigestible materials (such as lignin) to prevent exposure of them to the cells or enzymes, etc. Therefore, pretreatment is applied to remove these effects. There are more than 40 different pretreatment methods that use physical, thermal, chemical, physico-chemicals or biological means to achieve the goals. There have been intensive studies on developing pretreatment methods for various materials in the last two decades. However, recent development in biorefineries, circular bioeconomy and the importance of resource recovery to produce new materials and energy sources, gives new dimensions to pretreatment. Thus, this special issue entitled “Recent Advances on Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic and Algal Biomass” has been conceptualized to highlights some of the advances. We are especially interested in the state-of-the-art critical reviews in the following areas:
Recent developments in ionic liquid pretreatments
Organosolv as pretreatment
Pretreatment and the effects on biomass recalcitrance
Hydrothermal pretreatment
Gasification
Combustion
Pyrolysis
Removal of inhibitors and toxic materials using pretreatment
Techno-economical assessments of pretreatment methods
Sustainability and life-cycle assessments of pretreatments
