Effect of citric acid concentration on demineralization and pyrolysis of sugarcane residues as analyzed by analytical pyrolysis

The citric acid (CA) has been proven to be an appropriate leaching agent for sugarcane residues en route to producing upgraded bio-oils via fast pyrolysis. Moreover, it is evident that the economic feasibility of sugarcane residues pretreatment via acid leaching, heavily relies on the acid concentration. Therefore, in this study, we report on the effect of pretreating sugarcane trash (SCT) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB) with different...
