Hydrolysis of aspen wood chips using a single percolation reactor at 185 degrees hydrolysis temperature, 0.5 weight percent sulfuric acid, and 30-minimum liquid residence time produced a 55% glucose yield (dry, hydrous basis) and a 7.8-g/L glucose concentration. Yields compare favorably with those from other researchers. Sugar concentrations are low but are expected to increase with feedstock size reduction and prehydrolysis condition changes.
