Mechanocatalytic Depolymerization of Lignocellulose Performed on Hectogram and Kilogram Scales

摘要: Mechanocatalytic depolymerization of lignocellulose constitutes a new frontier in biorefining. In one-pot process, the combination mechanical forces and acid catalysis leads to full conversion (dried) into water-soluble products (oligosaccharides lignin fragments). solution, these undergo hydrolysis other reactions, rendering high yields monosaccharides along with precipitation sulfur-free lignin. Therefore, oligosaccharides may serve as unique replacement for glucose xylose production platform chemicals. this work, we report results obtained from mechanocatalytic α-cellulose, beechwood, poplar wood performed Simoloyer mills operating on hectogram kilogram scales. Irrespective process scale, substrate “water-soluble (ligno)celluloses”, within milling durations 1–3 h, is achieved. A phenomenological analysis parameters upsca...
