It is the most reliable alternative to reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Within the framework of the circular economy, resource recovery from organic waste, including sewage sludge, biowaste, manure and slaughterhouse waste, is particularly useful, as it helps saving resources while reducing environmental pollution. In contrast to energy crops, lignocellulosic biomass and algae do not compete for food production; therefore, they represent an important source of biomass for bioenergy and bioproducts. However, biomass may require a pretreatment step in order to enhance its conversion into valuable products in terms of process yield and/or productivity. Furthermore, a pretreatment step may be mandatory for waste management (i.e., animal by-products).Pretreatment technologies are applied upstream of various conversion processes of biomass into biofuels or biomaterials, including bioethanol, biohydrogen, biomethane, biomolecules or bioproducts. Pretreatments may include mechanical, thermal, chemical and biological techniques, which represent a crucial, cost-intensive step for the development of biorefineries. Thus, research is needed to help identify the most effective, economic, and environmentally friendly pretreatment options for each feedstock. This Special Issue aims to gather recent developments of biomass pretreatments for bioproduct and biofuel production.Technology: general issuesbicsscacetic acidacidacidogenic fermentationADM1agricultural wastesalkalianaerobic digestionantimicrobial disinfectantsaqueous ammonia soaking pre-treatmentbiochemical methane potentialbioethanolbiogas productionbiogas yieldbiomassbiomethanebioreactor experimentsbiorefinerybiorefinery residuesbutyric acidcitrus peel wastecontaminants of emerging concerncontinuouscrystallinitydewaterabilitydigested manure fibersdilute alkaline pretreatmentdisintegrationeconomical assessmentelectro-Fentonenergy balanceenzymatic hydrolysisferric chloride pretreatmentfruit and vegetable harvesting wastesglycosyl-hydrolasegrass biomassgrass lawn wasteHRThydrothermal treatmentinhibitionionic liquidlignocelluloselignocellulosic biomasslithiummechanical pretreatmentsmicrobial community analysismicrowavemicrowave pretreatmentmodellingmunicipal sludgeNaOH pretreatmentp-hydroxycinnamic acids extractionparticulate organics solubilizationPennisetum alopecuroidespersonal care productspHphysical propertiespre-treatmentpretreatmentprocess optimizationpropionic acidrheologysaccharificationsecond-generation ethanolseparated fractionssource separated organicssteam treatmentsugarcane bagassesurface ion distributiontandem mass spectrometrythermal pretreatmentthermo chemical pretreatmentToF-SIMStriclosanultra-high performance liquid chromatographyvalorisationvolatile fatty acidswaste activated sludgewhole slurryTechnology: general issuesFerrer Ivetedt1322269Eskicioglu CigdemedtAntonopoulou GeorgiaedtBattimelli AudreyedtFerrer IvetothEskicioglu CigdemothAntonopoulou GeorgiaothBattimelli AudreyothBOOK9910557332403321Efficient Technology for the Pretreatment of Biomass II3034733UNINA
