Pretreatment of corn stover by dilute sulfuric acid was investigated using a laboratory percolation (flowthrough) reactor operated under high-solids conditions. The effects of reaction conditions and operating parameters on the performance of the percolation reactor were investigated seeking the optimal range in which acceptable levels of yield and sugar concentration could be attained. It was demonstrated that 70-75% recovery of xylose and 6 to 7% (w/w) xylose concentration were attainable. The high sugar concentration was obtained as a result of dense packing of dry corn stover and the low liquid throughput. Xylose was mostly unreacted, rather than decomposed. The cellulose and the unreacted xylan of treated corn stover were both effectively hydrolyzed by a cellulase enzyme preparation that also exhibits some activity on xylan. The xylose yield was affected significantly by the flow rate under the same reaction time and conditions. This behavior appears to be related to sugar decomposition, mass transfer resistance, and the fact that acid is neutralized by the buffering components of the biomass.
