24 Conclusions Low-value sugar-based feedstock was utilized in batch and continuous ABE fermentation, including: cane molasses, corn stover hydrolyzate, etc. Using cane molasses, the ABE fermentation could be steadily operated for over 1 h at D=.15 h -1, the average total solvent of g/l (butanol.37 g/l); and productivity of.39 g/l/h were obtained in a -stage continuous fermentation. Corn stover hydrolysate was prepared using alkaline pretreatment and enzyme hydrolysis. In a -stage continuous fermentation, the process was operated for 22 h at D=.15 h -1, the average solvent was 11.3 g/l (butanol 7.1 g/l), and the average solvent productivity was.29 g/l/h. 2
