Hydrolysis of these materials is the first step for either digestion to biogas (methane) or fermentation to ethanol. However, enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocelluloses with no pretreatment is usually not so effective because of high stability of the materials to enzymatic or bacterial attacks. The present work is dedicated to reviewing the methods that have been studied for pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes for conversion to ethanol or biogas. Effective parameters in pretreatment of lignocelluloses, such as crystallinity, accessible surface area, and protection by lignin and hemicellulose are described first. Then, several pretreatment methods are discussed and their effects on improvement in ethanol and\/or biogas production are described. They include milling, irradiation, microwave, steam explosion, ammonia fiber explosion (AFEX), supercritical CO2 and its explosion, alkaline hydrolysis, liquid hot-water pretreatment, organosolv processes, wet oxidation, ozonolysis, dilute- and concentrated-acid hydrolyses, and biological pretreatments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms9091621","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,2]],"date-time":"2008-10-02T12:45:09Z","timestamp":1222951509000},"page":"1621-1651","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2001,"title":["Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Wastes to Improve Ethanol and Biogas Production: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4887-2433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad J.","family":"Taherzadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, University of Bor\u00e5s, 501 90 Bor\u00e5s, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keikhosro","family":"Karimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, University of Bor\u00e5s, 501 90 Bor\u00e5s, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, 84156-83111, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Isa, B, Post, J, and Furedy, C (2004).
