Abstract: Corn stover (CS) pretreated by DLC (Densifying Lignocellulosic biomass with acidic Chemicals) pretreatment exhibited higher digestibility and much better fermentability compared to traditional pretreatments. Nevertheless, the xylose fermentation, which was a key for lignocellulosic ethanol production, during SHCF (Separate Hydrolysis and Co-Fermentation) was unsatisfactory at high solid loadings. In this study, modified SSCF (Simultaneous Saccharification and Co-Fermentation) was adopted to promote xylose utilization and ethanol yield. SSCF conditions (temperature, inoculation size, nitrogen source addition) were investigated. A novel strategy “Fed-batch of DLC Biomass and Enzyme (FBE)” was developed for SSCF at 28%–35% solid loadings, which showed higher sugar conversion, higher xylose consumption and superior ethanol yield compared to SHCF and traditional SSCF. The highest ethanol titer of 74.6 g/L produced based on DLC pretreatment was achieved during FBE SSCF without water washing or detoxification of DLC-CS.
