Hydrolysis and Assessment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biofuel Production Using Anaerobic Digestion

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

The pretreatment aids hydrolysis and is considered as a challenging process in recovering energy from biomass. During pretreatment, modification occurs at the macroscopic and microscopic levels of biomass such as size, structure, and chemical configuration. Pretreatment aids the hydrolysis of biomass and enhances the efficiency of the subsequent biological and chemical conversion process.
