Cellulose Hydrolysis Using Oxidized Carbon Catalyst in a Plug-Flow Slurry Process

摘要: The catalytic conversion of cellulose to glucose at the industrial scale is a sustainable approach production fuels and chemicals. Herein, we report hydrolysis using an inexpensive carbon catalyst in continuous slurry process. A prepared by air oxidation showed highest activity for owing large number weakly acidic functional groups. air-oxidized hydrolyzed plug-flow reactor after mix-milling produce soluble β-1,4-glucans. Further β-1,4-glucans was achieved fixed-bed containing Amberlyst-70 series with obtain 59% yield. Another use dilute H3PO4 70% yield, resulting space time yield 456 kg m–3 h–1. simple design, short residence time, high will enable scaleup thi...
