Hemicellulose can be selectively removed by acid pretreatment. In this study, selective removal of hemicellulose was achieved using dilute sulfuric acid assisted by aluminum sulfate pretreatment. The optimal pretreatment conditions were 160 °:C, 1.5 wt% aluminum sulfate, 0.7 wt% dilute sulfuric acid, and 40 min. A component analysis showed that the removal rate of hemicellulose and lignin reached 98.05% and 9.01%, respectively, which indicated that hemicellulose was removed with high selectivity by dilute sulfuric acid assisted by aluminum sulfate pretreatment. Structural characterizations (SEM, FTIR, BET, TGA, and XRD) showed that pretreatment changed the roughness, crystallinity, pore size, and functional groups of corn straw, which was beneficial to improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis. This study provides a new approach for the high-selectivity separation of hemicellulose, thereby offering novel insights for its subsequent high-value utilization.
