Material balances during the synergistic treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis for the four pretreatment conditions. (a) Hydrothermal pretreatment at 160°C for 60 min combined with the alkali treatment, (b) hydrothermal pretreatment at 180°C for 30 min combined with the alkali treatment, (c) hydrothermal pretreatment at 180°C for 60 min combined with the alkali treatment, and (d) hydrothermal pretreatment at 200°C for 30 min combined with the alkali treatment.
