  • METHOD FOR PRETREATING PLANT STARTING MATERIAL FOR THE PRODUCTION, FROM SACCHARIFEROUS AND LIGNOCELLULOSIC RESOURCES, OF BIOETHANOL AND OF SUGAR, AND PLANT
    Publication number: 20110105737
    Abstract: A method for pretreating plant starting material for the purpose of producing bioethanol and/or sugar via a common chamber (12), is characterized in that: —during one period, the plant material (MP), introduced into the common pretreatment chamber, is a lignocellulosic plant starting material, whose pretreatment is aimed at separating the cellulose, the hemicelluloses and the lignins so as to obtain a pretreated plant material that can be hydrolyzed and fermented for the production of bioethanol; —during another period, the plant material (MP), introduced into the common pretreatment chamber, is a sacchariferous plant starting material, whose pretreatment is aimed at extracting therefrom, by diffusion, a sugar juice for the production of sugar and/or of bioethanol.
