Abstract
A mathematical model was developed for a counter-current reactor to investigate its performance in acid catalyzed cellulose hydrolysis. The results indicated that use of this reactor would be advantageous particularly in obtaining high product yield. The predicted yield of above 70% under normal reaction conditions was substantially higher than those achievable from plug flow (28%) or percolation reactor (54percnt;).Keywords
