A continuous process for effecting the acid hydrolysis of cellulosic waste materials, at high solids and in a most economically desirable manner. The process may be controlled to produce, as primary products, glucose, furfural and/or xylose. By appropriate control of water and temperature, through the use of direct steam injection, high solids feedstocks may quickly be converted, in good yields, to valuable products, thus making the process very attractive from a practical commercial standpoint. |
