In this study, liquid hot water pretreatment was combined with disk milling for pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse was pretreated using liquid hot water (LHW) at 140 to 180°C for 10 min (20%w/w solids content) and then disk milled. Disk milling improved glucose release 41 to 177% and ethanol production from glucose/xylose cofermentation by 80% compared to only using LHW pretreatment. The highest ethanol conversion efficiency achieved was 94%, which was observed when bagasse was treated at 180°C with LHW and disk milled. However, a small amount of residual xylose (3g/L) was indicative that further improvement could be achieved to increase ethanol production.

在这项研究中，液体热水预处理与盘磨相结合，对甘蔗渣进行预处理。使用液态热水（LHW）在140至180°C下对甘蔗渣进行预处理10分钟（固体含量为20％w / w），然后进行圆盘研磨。与仅使用LHW预处理相比，盘磨将葡萄糖释放提高41％至177％，并且葡萄糖/木糖共发酵产生的乙醇产量提高了80％。达到的最高乙醇转化效率为94％，这是在将甘蔗渣在180°C下用LHW处理并进行盘磨时观察到的。但是，少量的残留木糖（3g / L）表明可以进一步提高乙醇产量。
