The three major lignocellulose components can be transformed into various biomass-derived platform fuels, chemicals, and materials upon pretreatment and chemical upgrading. Lignocellulose pretreatment is an important step to obtain an eco-friendly, economical, and effective biomass utilization process. The combination of microwave heating and hydrotropic pretreatment is considered as a green method of lignocellulose pretreatment.

- - This study investigates how rice husk can be broken down into sugars using sulfuric acid, examining different concentrations of the acid during the hydrolysis process.
- - It finds that at higher acid concentrations (over 0.44 N), the process is better explained by a heterogeneous model, while at lower concentrations, both the homogeneous and heterogeneous models are applicable.
- - The research shows that the rate of hydrolysis is influenced by the transfer of sulfuric acid into the rice husk particles and that the sugars produced can be turned into ethanol through fermentation with yeast.
