Determining the kinetics of sunflower hulls using dilute acid pretreatment in the production of xylose and furfural
Pretreatment of sunflower hulls was conducted under varied dilute acid concentrations (0.5–2.0 wt%), reaction temperatures ranging between 140°C and 160°C and the reaction time up to 30 min. The conversion of xylan into xylose and furfural was investigated. The maximum xylose and furfural recoveries...
