Abstract

Steam explosion is one of the leading and most promising hydrothermal pretreatment for lignocellulose biorefinery. In the biorefinery concept, this monograph chapter systematically elaborates the basic principles, derived technologies, and process integration of steam explosion biorefinery techniques in development. The theoretical bases of steam explosion technology were elucidated from the transfer rules and hydrothermal mechanism during the multistage pretreatment process. Based on the cognition of steam explosion process and heterogeneity of lignocellulosic feedstock, a series of novel steam explosion-derived biorefinery techniques were explored to achieve the efficient fractionation and conversion of biomass components. Their integrated industrial biorefinery chain was further interpreted by a typical ethanol production demonstration project, in order to boost the development of steam explosion technology from biorefinery engineering. It is anticipated to have some guiding meaning for the better interpretation and application of steam explosion biorefinery techniques in both the experimental research and industrial production.
