Wood and agricultural wastes (e.g. straw, corn stover) provide a raw material source that cannot be used for human consumption, thus biofuels from such sources do not threaten the food supply. The aim of the work was to carry out the pre-treatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material in the same ionic liquid solvent (1-n-butyl-3- methyl-imidazolium-chloride, [Bmim]Cl), using ground wheat straw and a mixture of corn (Zea mays) leaf and stover, as substrates. Our measurements show that it is possible to achieve an acceptable glucose content from the cellulose by applying Cellic® CTec2 and Cellic® HTec2 enzyme complexes. ER -
