“…To improve the fermentability of dilute acid hydrolysates into biofuels or biochemicals, several treatment methods have been proposed to remove these inhibitors from the lignocellulosic hydrolysate, including physical methods (extraction, evaporation, and adsorption), chemical methods (overliming, alkaline detoxification, and reducing agents), biological methods (enzymatic and microbial detoxification), and combined treatment. , Among these methods, adsorption has been deemed to be one of the most convenient and effective methods due to its energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics, high efficiency, and easy handing . Furthermore, adsorption resins have drawn extensive attention to remove the fermentation inhibitors from the lignocellulosic hydrolysate, because of its unique structure and outstanding adsorption properties. − Styrene-divinylbenzene (St-DVB) adsorption resins were used to effectively adsorb small organic molecules such as furfural, 5-HMF, and ASL from the lignocellulosic hydrolysate. − However, the textural properties of the St-DVB adsorption resins often vary from the synthetic variable including the synthesis conditions (initiator, temperature, time of polymerization, etc.) and the type and amount of the main chemical compounds (monomers, crosslinker, and porogen), which have been deemed to be the most important factors. , To our knowledge, there is no published work that specially focused on the effect of textural properties on the fermentation inhibitors and pigments removal, as well as the sugar loss by St-DVB adsorption resin.…”
