Improving enzymatic saccharification of eucalyptus with a pretreatment process using MgCl2

Pretreatment using an acid salt is a novel technology for biomass conversion, which not only improves the following enzymatic efficiency but also decreases the equipment corrosion. In the present work, MgCl2 was used as a pretreatment for enzymatic saccharification. After pretreatment, the solid substrate (SS) and pretreatment liquor (PL) were characterized, and the SS was enzymatically hydrolyzed to evaluate the conversion yield of cellulose...
