Catalytic degradation of cellulose using oxygen

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Oxidative degradation of cellulose was performed using oxygen and water in a high pressure reactor. By changing the reaction conditions and catalysts, the ratio of glucose, gluconic acid, and formic acid can be controlled, and they are useful in the chemical industry. I applied the catalytic system to the conversion of glycerol and found that mesoporous sulfated zirconia-silica dehydrates glycerol to acrolein in 81% yield. The synthesis of acrolein is one of the significant reactions as it is a versatile precursor to functional polymers and pharmaceuticals.
