Topical 7 - Envisioning Biorefineries (T7)

#183 - Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass and Interactions with Other Processing Steps I (T7004)
This session will review progress in developing and understanding leading technologies for pretreatment of cellulosic biomass and their effects on enzymatic hydrolysis of the solid residue, fermentation of the sugars released, and other process operations. Included will be updates by investigators involved in the Biomass Refining Consortium for Applied Fundamentals and Innovation (CAFI).
