Abstract

Lignocellulosic biomass was effectively delignified by aerobic oxidation in ethanol. During the process, ethanol was partially oxidized to acetal, a promising fuel additive, and other oxygenates. The resulting pulp could then be enzymatically converted into sugars in good yields for ethanol production.
