This work was focused on the steam explosion pretreatment reproduction and alkaline delignification reactions on a pilot scale for the ethanol production, through different varieties of natural sugarcane bagasse, pretreated bagasse and delignified pretreated bagasse (cellulosic pulp). The possible chemical composition differences of the various types of bagasse, as well as the chemical composition variations of the materials in the 20 processes of pretreatment and delignification on the pilot scale were verified. The analytical results of the 20 samples of most diverse varieties and origins of natural sugarcane bagasse considering planting soils, planting periods and weather; show no significant chemical differences. It is evident that only with the chemical composition it is not possible to verify the differences between the varieties of sugarcane bagasses. The research results may offer some evidences of these varieties, but it is not a reliable parameter. The pilot process of steam explosion pretreatment and the alkaline delignification process of pretreated material showed through analytical results a good capacity of reproduction, as the standard differences were below 2.7. The average allowed in the pretreatment and alkaline delignification processes were 66.1 ± 0.8 and 51.5 ± 2.6 respectively, ensuring an excellent reproduction capacity of the processes obtained through chemical characterizations.
► No significant chemical composition differences in sugarcane bagasse samples.
► The amount of extractives may offer some evidences of this varieties.
► The pilot process of steam explosion pretreatment proved a good reproducibility.
► The alkaline delignification of pretreated material proved a good reproducibility.
► The average yields of pretreatment and delignification processes were satisfactory.
