Abstract
⺠Diluted phosphoric acid was employed as catalyst in sugarcane bagasse pretreatment. ⺠Factorial design showed the effects of temperature, time and acid concentration. ⺠Very effective hemicellulose solubilization was achieved at 186 °C, reaching 98%. ⺠Relatively low amounts of fermentation inhibitors were released in the hydrolysate. ⺠Phosphoric acid in the hydrolysate can be a P-source for subsequent fermentation.
