Sugar From Wood Research Boosts Wood Sugar Alcohol Yields
A report to the American Chemical Society says Sugar From Wood Research can convert wood into high yields of wood sugar and industrial alcohol in a quarter to half the time of German methods. Up to 60 gallons of alcohol per ton of wood wastes are produced by hydrolyzing to sugar, then acid-treated fermentation under heat and pressure. In 1941 Germany reportedly had about 20 plants making alcohol glycerine and feed yeasts from wood.
