Abstract
), which displayed immense improvement compared with untreated corn stover (24.1%), nearly 3-fold higher than its untreated counterparts. Besides, the regenerated lignin could be fitted to valorize renewable aromatic chemicals and alkane fuels. The present study shows that the pretreatment is a simple, efficient and promising process for corn stover biorefinery.
