This paper evaluates the thermodynamic performance of three different l-lactic acid (LLA) biorefinery scenarios, utilizing macroalgae cellulosic residue, namely Eucheuma denticulatum residues (EDRs), as raw materials. To establish exergy analysis, the thermodynamic properties of each biorefinery sce...
