Description
Summary:Pretreating biomass samples results in slurry, a mixture of liquid and solid material. For analytical purposes the liquid and solid material must be separated. The analytical results on each fraction are mathematically combined at the conclusion of the analyses to obtain mass balance. The following procedure covers two methods of separating these fractions. The centrifugation method is useful for severely pretreated samples, while the filtration method can be used for mildly pretreated "chunky" material.
