Biological Pretreatment: Need of the Future

Water Hyacinth: A Potential Lignocellulosic Biomass for Bioethanol

Abstract

Pretreatment is one of the most significant steps for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks. Among the various pretreatment strategies known, biological pretreatment seems to be the most promising as it is mild and eco-friendly process and does not generate inhibitor unlike physical and chemical pretreatment methods which are harsh and cost and energy intensive. However, there are a few limitations associated with this strategy to be used on a pilot scale. These are the long residence time for effective delignification and the non-selective nature of fungi which may also attack cellulose and hemicellulose. Nevertheless, the complete potential of biological pretreatment has not been fully exploited yet. Hence, there is a need for extensive research in the field of biological pretreatment for the development of an economically feasible process. This chapter presents an overview of various aspects of biological pretreatment including organisms responsible and mechanism, methods of delignification and various parameters affecting biological pretreatment process.
