To review physicochemical pretreatment techniques for lignocellulosic biomass, outline the mechanisms of inhibitor formation, and assess detoxification strategies that preserve biocatalytic efficiency.
Evaluated physicochemical pretreatment technologies, including steam explosion, ammonia fiber explosion (AFEX), and liquid hot water (LHW).
Analyzed the generation pathways of lignocellulose-derived inhibitors, focusing on furan derivatives, lignin-derived phenolics, and carboxylic acids.
Physicochemical pretreatment enhances cellulose accessibility by disrupting lignin-hemicellulose matrices, but co-generates furan derivatives, phenolics, and carboxylic acids.
Lignocellulose-derived byproducts exert strong inhibitory effects that deactivate enzymatic catalysts and suppress microbial viability during downstream fermentation.
Optimized pretreatment parameters and targeted detoxification strategies in hydrolysates effectively mitigate inhibitor accumulation, restoring fermentation yields in biofuel production.
