dc.description.abstract	This study examines the impact of leaching with dilute hydrochloric acid solution on the reduction of ash content and the thermal degradation behavior of sugarcane bagasse. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to statistically design the experiments and investigate the effect of three independent variables: treatment time, solid-to-liquid ratio, and reagent concentration. The leaching conditions were further optimized and experimentally validated for maximum ash reduction for suitability of treated biomass as feedstock for thermochemical conversion technologies. Reagent concentration and treatment time directly affected ash reduction, while the solid-to-liquid ratio inversely influenced it. Concentration had the highest impact, and treatment duration had the least. The maximum 78.2% ash reduction was achieved by treating the biomass with 1 M HCl for 80 min at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 50:1 (wt/vol). This ash reduction also resulted in a 9.82% increase in higher heating value (HHV). Hemicellulose hydrolysis during leaching was observed through chemical composition and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Ash fusion temperatures increased, indicating more thermally stable biomass. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed elevated maximum degradation temperature and activation energy.

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of leaching with dilute hydrochloric acid solution on the reduction of ash content and the thermal degradation behavior of sugarcane bagasse. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to statistically design the experiments and investigate the effect of three independent variables: treatment time, solid-to-liquid ratio, and reagent concentration. The leaching conditions were further optimized and experimentally validated for maximum ash reduction for suitability of treated biomass as feedstock for thermochemical conversion technologies. Reagent concentration and treatment time directly affected ash reduction, while the solid-to-liquid ratio inversely influenced it. Concentration had the highest impact, and treatment duration had the least. The maximum 78.2% ash reduction was achieved by treating the biomass with 1 M HCl for 80 min at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 50:1 (wt/vol). This ash reduction also resulted in a 9.82% increase in higher heating value (HHV). Hemicellulose hydrolysis during leaching was observed through chemical composition and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Ash fusion temperatures increased, indicating more thermally stable biomass. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed elevated maximum degradation temperature and activation energy.
