Glucose and xylose yields after acidolysis of biomass in [C₄mim]Cl using different solids loadings^a

Run No.	Solid loadingb (w/w)	Solid residue (wt%)	Glucose yield (%)	Xylose yield (%)	Final [Glc] (g/L)	Final [Xyl] (g/L )
7	5	10.2	83.3 ± 1.9	52.1 ± 1.2	8.0 ± 0.2	3.4 ± 0.1
8	7.5	9.7	55.5 ± 3.0	34.1 ± 2.0	8.3 ± 0.4	3.5 ± 0.2
9	10	9.4	54.4 ± 1.6	32.9 ± 2.8	10.2 ± 0.3	6.7 ± 0.4

^a water was pumped into the system 15 min after pretreatment.

^b solid loading is the ratio of the mass of SG to mass of IL.
