SPORL treated SCB had a higher saccharification yield than DA treated SCB.
Compositions and SEM pictures of DA and SPORL SCBs were not significantly different.
FTIR and XRD determinations of these two treated SCBs showed some differences.
The sulfonic acid group content and Zeta potential of SPORL treated SCB were higher.
The non-productive adsorption of cellulase to SPORL treated SCB was less.
