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

采用水蒸气法水解结晶纤维素，葡萄糖得率为40℃-%。研究了多糖的结晶度对水解的影响，发现水蒸气法对结晶多糖的水解有显著的效果。考察了不同分子作为蒸汽催化剂的催化效果。甲酸加速了葡萄糖的产率，而乙酸和甲醇抑制了葡萄糖的产率，表明分子大小和极性影响了催化剂的活性。

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.
