Bagasse was liquefied in ethylene glycol (EG) catalyzed by sulfuric acid at 190°C under atmospheric pressure. The compositions of the crude products obtained were analyzed after separating them into three fractions: a water-soluble fraction, an acetone-soluble fraction and a residue. With infrared, gel permeation chromatography and elemental analyses, the residue mainly included undissolved cellulose and lignin derivatives and the acetone-soluble fraction mainly contained lignin degradation products with high molecular weights. The water-soluble fraction, after further analyzed by GC-MS and HPLC, showed EG, diethylene glycol, EG derivatives, saccharides, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, phenols, especially some acids such as formic acid, levulinic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid and 2-hydroxy-butyric acid and their esters. The Higher Heating Value (HHV) of the residue and the acetone-soluble fractions were higher than that of bagasse. The results showed that some useful chemicals and biofuels could be obtained by this process.
