Figure 2

Composition (% dry mass) and dry mass loss of hydrothermal pretreated fibers (a) and synergistic pretreated samples (b). RM: raw material; R: residues obtained after the direct hydrothermal pretreatment of the raw material; AM: residue obtained after the direct alkali treatment of the raw material without hydrothermal pretreatment; AR: residues obtained after the combination of hydrothermal pretreatment and alkali treatment of the raw material. For chemical compositions of the raw fiber, hydrothermal pretreated fibers, and the cellulose-rich fractions obtained after synergistic treatment, see Additional file 1: Table S1.
