The effect of delignification time and H2SO4 concentration on the average glucose concentration produced without microwave-assisted pretreatment.
| Concentration of H2SO4 (in % (v/v) | Delignification time (hours) | The average reducing sugar (g·L−1) | Standard deviation | 1.5 | 2.0 | 2.5 | 3.0 |
| 0.5 | 3.15 | 3.31 | 4.17 | 4.49 | 3.78 | 0.65 | 2.0 | 3.45 | 3.99 | 5.65 | 5.99 | 4.77 | 1.24 | 5.0 | 2.15 | 5.17 | 7.49 | 7.73 | 5.63 | 2.59 | 7.0 | 5.61 | 5.79 | 9.41 | 8.05 | 7.21 | 1.84 |
