Table 3.

Effect of the dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment on the order of the different residues

Component Raw materials Pretreated materials
Cellulose Straw > bagasse > tops Tops > bagasse > straw
Hemicellulose Tops > straw > bagasse Bagasse > tops > straw
Lignin Bagasse > straw > tops Straw > bagasse > tops
Ash Tops > straw > bagasse Tops > straw > bagasse

Chemical composition orders based on average data for each type of residue (bagasse, straw, and tops) obtained for the four varieties (K, M, Q, and X).
