Figure 3From: Coupling alkaline pre-extraction with alkaline-oxidative post-treatment of corn stover to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentabilityAlkali consumption during alkaline pre-extraction of corn stover as a function of solids concentration (w/v), NaOH loading, and temperature. The alkali consumption is shown to approach a horizontal asymptote at between 0.08 and 0.10 g/g NaOH loading.Back to article page
