Abstract
Disclosed herein are processes for ethanol production from a lignocellulosic feedstock. These processes provide DMR of lignocellulosic biomass comprising two-stage deacetylation followed by mechanical refining so as to increase fermentable sugar yield while reducing hydrolytic enzyme loading requirements.
