DEVELOPMENT OF BIOMASS PRETREATMENT TECHNOLOGY VIA CONTROLLED FEEDING SYSTEM OF FIBROUS BIOMASS INTO CONTINUOUS HIGH-PRESSURE REACTOR

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a high-pressure reactor for continuous hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and a method for continuous high-pressure pretreatment. The present disclosure is very useful in continuous high-temperature, high-pressure steam explosion and hydrolysis of biomass because the surface area can be increased and the aspect ratio (fiber width/fiber length) can be decreased through quick hydration and abrasion and various crushed lignocellulosic biomass having different properties can be continuously injected into the high-pressure reactor, regardless of the kind of biomass.
