The conversion of cellulose hydrolysis was investigated in batch reactors from brown macro-algae under extremely low acid (ELA) pretreatment conditions. The brown macro-algae of Laminaria japonica were conducted for increasing glucan content as an aqua-biomass feedstock. The investigated ELA pretrea...
