Clarification of reaction behavior in effective cellulose hydrolysis by novel vapor catalyst method

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The novel vapor method gave 40 C-% yield of glucose in hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose. Investigation of effects of crystallinity of polysaccharides on the hydrolysis revealed that the vapor method is significantly effective for the hydrolysis of crystalline polysaccharides. The catalytic effect of various molecules was examined as vapor catalyst. Formic acid accelerated the yield of glucose, whereas acetic acid and methanol inhibited the reaction, and it was suggested that the molecular size and polarity have affected the catalyst activity.
