INFLUENCE OF STEAM PRESSURE ON THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF DEGRADED HEMICELLULOSES OBTAINED FROM STEAM-EXPLODED LESPEDEZA STALKS
Steam explosion pretreatment was used to release hemicelluloses from the stalks of Lespedeza crytobotrya, a potential woody biomass crop. Hemicelluloses from Lespedeza crytobotrya subjected to five different pretreatment severities were extracted with 60% aqueous ethanol solution containing 1% NaOH,...
