Abstract
In this article we can observe the scanning by the literature for the pretreatment of steam explosion applied to lignocellulose biomass. A comparison of the chemical and physical characterization of potato peel as a lignocellulose biomass. Besides, the innovative design of a continuous reactor for the potato peel steam explosion process is shown, with specific temperature and pressure conditions on a pilot scale, detailing its parts. Finally, a finite element analysis was performed where stress results were obtained from the reactor material, severity factor, structural analysis and thermal analysis, providing a panorama of the reactor's behavior with the conditions specific.
