摘要: Oxygenated carbon catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellulose present in lignocellulosic biomass by utilizing weakly acidic functional groups on its surface. Here we report synthesis a biomimetic catalyst simple and economical air-oxidation commercially available activated carbon. Air- oxidation at 450-500 °C introduced 2000-2400 μmol g(-1) oxygenated material with minor changes textural properties. Selectivity towards formation carboxylic surface increased increase temperature. The degree was found to be proportional activity for cellulose. eucalyptus presence oxidized 475 °C afforded glucose yield 77 % xylose 67 %.
