    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system for producing cellulosic ethanol by biomass saccharification and fermentation. The system includes a reactor A configured to carry out an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction of a biomass feedstock, a reactor B configured to carry out a fermentation reaction of the biomass feedstock, and a collection tank configured to collect the cellulosic ethanol produced from the fermentation reaction of the biomass feedstock. The reactor A is connected to the reactor B, the storage tank, and the collection tank, and the reactor B is connected to the storage tank. The present disclosure also provides a method for preparing cellulosic ethanol implemented by the system, by which multiple cycles processes of enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and the ethanol extraction are carried out on the biomass feedstock at intervals, thereby reducing the inhibitory effect of the ethanol accumulation on the hydrolysis and fermentation processes and improving the conversion rate of the cellulosic ethanol. By setting a storage tank, two batches of materials can be processed simultaneously in one system, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of cellulosic ethanol.
