Kinetics of Formic Acid-catalyzed Cellulose Hydrolysis

Kinetics of Formic Acid-catalyzed Cellulose Hydrolysis

Hydrolysis is a reaction to produce sugars from lignocellulosic raw materials for biochemical production. The present study elucidates the hydrolysis of cellulose and formation of glucose decomposition products catalyzed by 5% to 20% (w/w) formic acid at 180 to 220 °C with an initial cellulose concentration of 10 to 100 g/L. Microcrystalline cellulose was used as a model compound. The experimen...

Reactivity of plasmalogens: kinetics of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis.

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the alpha,-unsaturated ether group of two plasmalogens, lysophosphatidal choline and lysophosphatidal ethanolamine, and several model compounds (isobutyl vinyl ether, 1-butenyl ethyl ether, and dihydropyran) was studied by determining the true second-order rate constants. The results indicate that the chemical reactivity of the substituted vinyl ether group in p...
