Bioethanol review, BioResources 2(3), 472-499. 472 ACID-BASED HYDROLYSIS PROCESSES FOR ETHANOL FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIALS: A REVIEW Mohammad J. Taherzadeh1* and Keikhosro Karimi2 Bioethanol is nowadays one of the main actors in the fuel market. It is currently produced from sugars and starchy materials, but lignocelluloses can be expected to be major feedstocks for ethanol production in the future. Two PROCESSES are being developed in parallel for conversion of lignocelluloses to ethanol, ACID-BASED and enzyme- based PROCESSES . The current article is dedicated to review of progress in the ACID-BASED - HYDROLYSIS process. This process was used industrially in the 1940s, during wartime, but was not economically competitive afterward.
