Steam Explosion (SE) is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly processes for the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass. It is an important tool for the development of the biorefinery concept to mitigate the recalcitrance of biomass. However, the two distinct steps of SE, steam cracking and explosive decompression, leading to the breakdown of the lignocellulosic matrix have generally been studied in empiric ways and clarification are needed. This mini-review provides new insights and recommendations regarding the properties of subcritical water, process modeling and the importance of the depressurization rate.
蒸汽爆破（SE）是木质纤维素生物质预处理中最有效且环保的工艺之一。它是生物精炼概念发展中减轻生物质难降解性的重要工具。然而，蒸汽爆破的两个不同步骤，即蒸汽裂解和快速减压，导致木质纤维素基质的分解，通常是以经验方式进行研究的，仍需要进一步阐明。本综述提供了关于亚临界水性质、过程建模以及减压速率重要性的新见解和建议。
