Resumo(s)

Residues of olive trees pruning need to be removed every year so as not to compromise the health of the fruit (olives). However, at present, despite disposal costs, there is no monetization this waste. Therefore, the use of this waste for the production of cellulosic ethanol could be quite promising. In the present work, the optimization of dilute acid pretreatment conditions of olive tree pruning was studied. A fundamental step in the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic materials is the improvement of the carbohydrates accessibility to enzymatic hydrolysis, which can be performed with physic-chemical pretreatments.
