G. Process Description in the Reactor Operating the reactor, Solka-Floc BW-200 ball-milled and sieved through a 0.074-mm screen (200 mesh) was used as a model substrate. The feed was heated in the heating unit 30 minutes long to achieve the desired temperatures which is 240°C. Protic Acid is injected into the the reactor through an Acid injector unit to start the acid hydrolysis, in this case the protic acid that is used is H2SO4
