DDR corn stover (CS) enzymatic hydrolysis yields of glucose (left) and xylose (right). The glucan and xylan increased solubility as the sodium hydroxide concentration increased during deacetylation. The residence time during deacetylation might have a slight impact but not as much as sodium hydroxide concentrations. X/Y/Z represents NaOH conc (g/kg)/residence time (min)/disc-refining gap (in.)
