Comparative study of three optimized acid-based pretreatments for sugar recovery from sugarcane leaf waste: A sustainable feedstock for biohydrogen production

This paper reports the development and comparison of three optimized pretreatment models for xylose and glucose recovery from sugarcane leaf waste (SLW) using HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3. The input variables for each model consisted of acid concentration, temperature, solid to liquid ratio and heating time...
