It is important to develop efficient and economically feasible pretreatment methods for lignocellulosic biomass, to increase annual biomass production. A number of pretreatment methods were introduced to promote subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass for green energy processes. Pretreatment with steam explosion removes the only xylan at high severity but increases lignin content. In this study, corn stover soaked in choline chloride solution before the steam explosion is economically feasible as it reduced cost. Enzymatic hydrolysis of de-lignified corn stover is enhanced by combinatorial pretreatments of steam explosion and choline chloride. Corn stover pretreated with choline chloride at the ratio of 1:2.2 (w/w), 1.0 MPa, 184 °C, for 15 min efficiently expelled 84.7% lignin and 78.9% xylan. The residual solid comprised of 74.59% glucan and 7.51% xylan was changed to 84.2% glucose and 78.3% xylose with enzyme stacking of 10FPU/g. This single-step pretreatment had ∼ 4.5 and 6.4 times higher glucose yield than SE-pretreated and untreated corn stover, respectively. Furthermore, SEM, XRD and FTIR indicated the porosity, crystalline changes, methoxy bond-cleavage respectively due to the lignin and hemicellulose expulsion. Thus, the released acetic acid during this process introduced this novel strategy, which significantly builds the viability of biomass in short pretreatment time.
