Sažetak Sustainable recycling of lignocellulosic biomass includes utilization of all
carbohydrates present in its hydrolysates. Since wheat straw is a xylose-rich raw material,
utilization of xylose from obtained liquid part (liquor) of hydrolysates improves overall
bioprocess efficiency. In this work, dilute acid pre-treatment of wheat straw was performed in
high-pressure reactor at different temperatures (160 C–200 C), residence times (1 min–10
min), and acids (H2SO4 and H3PO4) concentrations. During dilute acid pre-treatment …

The world industry is trying to replace petrochemical fuels with fuels produced from
renewable resources. The demand for ethanol is continuously increasing, because of not
only the beverage and food industries, but also because ethanol is an alternative source of
energy1. Bioethanol is a promising candidate for the replacement of petroleum-based fuels,
since it can be used in cars without major modifications to the engine, it can be mixed with
gasoline and thereby raise the fuels octane number. It is also environmentally friendly …
