    Abstract: In one example, a process includes providing a system with a first vessel and a second vessel; providing a biomass comprising lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose fibers into said first vessel; providing an aqueous acidic composition comprising an acid; providing a modifier component; providing a peroxide component; exposing said biomass to said sulfuric acid, modifier and peroxide components, creating a reaction mass; mixing said reaction mass; and allowing said sulfuric acid component and peroxide component to come into contact with said biomass for a period of time sufficient to a delignification reaction to occur and remove a pre-determined amount of said lignin from said biomass. The pre-determined amount may be assessed by determining a first remaining peroxide concentration in the reaction mass, with a suitable apparatus, when said first remaining peroxide concentration is reached, the biomass is transferred to said second vessel.

    Abstract: A process to delignify biomass, said process comprising the steps of:



    providing a vessel;
    providing biomass comprising lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose fibers into said vessel;
    providing a aqueous acidic composition comprising a sulfuric acid component;
    providing a peroxide component;
    exposing said biomass to said sulfuric acid component and peroxide component, creating a reaction mass;
    allowing said sulfuric acid component and peroxide component to come into contact with said biomass for a period of time sufficient to a delignification reaction to occur and remove over 90 wt % of said lignin and hemicellulose from said biomass; and
    controlling the temperature of the delignification reaction to maintain it below 55° C.
