Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS Alkaline, acid and alkaline peroxide pretreatments were evaluated in biomass sorghum hydrolysis. Acid and H2O2 pretreatments were the best in holocellulose protection and lignin removal. Highest monosaccharide yields were in hydrolysis of PTB1 (HCl 0.34%) and PTC1 (5% H2O2). Greatest ethanol yield was obtained in PTB1 hydrolysate (16.15%).
