Abstract

Strategic valorization of readily available sugarcane bagasse (SB) is very important for waste management and sustainable biorefinery. Conventional SB pretreatment methods are ineffective to meet the requirement for industrial adaptation. Several past studies have highlighted different pretreatment procedures which are lacking environmentally benign characteristics and effective SB bioconversion. This article provides an in-depth review of a variety of environmentally acceptable thermochemical and biological pretreatment techniques for SB. Advancements in the conversion processes such as pyrolysis, liquefaction, gasification, cogeneration, lignin conversion, and cellulose conversion via fermentation processes are critically reviewed for the formation of an extensive array of industrially relevant products such as biofuels, bioelectricity, bioplastics, bio adsorbents, and organic acids. This article would provide comprehensive insights into several crucial aspects of thermochemical and biological conversion processes, including systematic perceptions and scientific developments for value-added products from SB valorization. Moreover, it would lead to determining efficient pretreatment and/or conversion processes for sustainable development of industrial-scale sugarcane-based biorefinery.
