The feedstock cost contributes significantly to biofuel production costs. Blending expensive high-quality feedstock with low-cost low-quality feedstock such as municipal solid waste (MSW) could benefit the biorefinary industry. This study compare the effect of blending ratios of MSW to corn stover (CS) on sugar recovery from enzymatic hydrolysis and acidolysis processes. The results indicate that ionic liquids are effective for MSW pretreatment, and over 80% glucose was recovered.
