The continuous dilute acid hydrolysis of waste cellulose materials (paper pulp and wood sawdust at 10 and 95% solids, respectively) to glucose in a twin screw reactor gave high conversion yields and good energy efficiencies. A scheme for a scaled-up acid hydrolysis-fermentation distillation facility based on a waste cellulose feedstock to produce fuel-grade ethanol is proposed.
