The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is an essential process for bioethanol production using a cellulase. The enzymatic saccharification in the SSF is operated at a temperature that is required for the fermentation process. The temperature is lower than the enzymatic optimal condition. In this study, a column reactor process that is separated saccharification and fermentation was investigated. The saccharification was carried out at 50℃ in the column reactor, and the ethanol production was operated at 28℃ in the fermenter in which the immobilized yeast beads were packed. The efficacy of the column reactor was compared with that of the batch process.
