Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass for enhancing sugar yields has been studied extensively over the years.  Conventional methods employed to preprocess biomass to make it conducive for enzymatic hydrolysis have been hampered by issues like poor energy efficiency and production of undesirable by-products.  Ultrasonication, which involves the treatment of biomass through ultrasonic sound waves in a liquid medium without additional chemicals, is believed to have potential for biomass pretreatment.  In this study the effects of ultrasonication on switchgrass, a potential feedstock for bioethanol production due to its high cellulosic content, were investigated.  Results of compositional analysis and scanning electron microscopy conducted to visualize...
