Plant biomass is a highly abundant renewable resource that can be converted into several types of high-value-added products, including chemicals, biofuels and advanced materials. In the last few decades, an increasing number of biomass species and processing techniques have been developed to enhance the application of plant biomass followed by the industrial application of some of the products, during which varied technologies have been successfully developed. In this review, we summarize the different sources of plant biomass, the evolving technologies for treating it, and the various products derived from plant biomass. Moreover, the challenges inherent in the valorization of plant biomass used in high-value-added products are also discussed. Overall, with the increased use of plant biomass, the development of treatment technologies, and the solution of the challenges raised during plant biomass valorization, the value-added products derived from plant biomass will become greater in number and more valuable.
植物生物质是一种极为丰富的可再生资源，可转化为多种高附加值产品，包括化学品、生物燃料和先进材料。在过去几十年中，已开发出越来越多的生物质种类和加工技术，以加强植物生物质的应用，随后一些产品实现了工业化应用，在此期间成功开发了多种技术。在本综述中，我们总结了植物生物质的不同来源、处理它的不断发展的技术以及源自植物生物质的各种产品。此外，还讨论了用于高附加值产品的植物生物质增值过程中固有的挑战。总体而言，随着植物生物质使用量的增加、处理技术的发展以及植物生物质增值过程中所提出挑战的解决，源自植物生物质的增值产品数量将更多且价值更高。
