Abstract

In the present study, the milling of cedar saw dust using a novel converge mill was studied for the purpose of the effective enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose. The milling time of converge mill was much shorter than that of the conventional tumbling mill. In addition, the sample loading of converge mill was much higher than that of planetary mill. As for the converge mill, the conditions of short milling time and many balls gave the high saccharification degree of cellulose.
