Combined Approaches to Xylose Production from Corn Stover by Dilute Acid Hydrolysis

Corn stover is a lignocellulosic biomass, an agricultural by-product, a possible raw material for xylose production. In this study corn stover was hydrolyzed with sulfuric and hydrochloric acid. In the presented work, hydrochloric acid resulted in the highest, 88.8 % xylose yield of theoretical unde...

description Corn stover is a lignocellulosic biomass, an agricultural by-product, a possible raw material for xylose production. In this study corn stover was hydrolyzed with sulfuric and hydrochloric acid. In the presented work, hydrochloric acid resulted in the highest, 88.8 % xylose yield of theoretical under the conditions of 2 % (w/w) hydrochloric acid concentration, 40-minute reaction time, 10 % (w/w) dry matter, at 120 °C. Sulfuric acid experiments resulted in 81.9 % xylose yield of theoretical by using 1.5 % (w/w) sulfuric acid, 60-minute reaction time, at 140 °C, 7 % (w/w) dry matter. Acid hydrolysis at low dry matter content resulted in relatively low sugar concentrations. Hydrolyzate recycling concentrated xylose to three-times, while the recycling does not decrease the xylose yields. It is also shown that the pseudo first-order and biphasic kinetic models can be based on total sugar concentrations.
