Investigation of fermentable sugar production through microwave-assisted alkali pretreatment and subsequent acid hydrolysis on Prosopis juliflora biomass
This study investigates the potential for producing fermentable sugars from Prosopis juliflora stem biomass using an unique approach using microwave-assisted KOH pretreatment. Various operating parameters in the microwave-assisted KOH pretreatment involves KOH conc (1, 2% and 3%), biomass loading (1, 3 and 5 g), mi...
