Optimization of Selective Acid Hydrolysis of Cellulose for Microcrystalline Cellulose using FeCl3

Microcrystalline-Cellulose Hydrolysis with Concentrated Sulphuric Acid

The effects of temperature (25-40°C), H,SO, concentration (31-70% (w/v)) and the acid/substrate relationship (1-5 cm3 of H,SO, per g-' of cellulose) on the solubilization rate of microcrystalline cellulose and on the glucose production rate have been analysed. The solubilization process was by determining reducing groups present in solution. For acid/substrate relationships of more than 1 cm3 g...

Statistical Optimization for Acid Hydrolysis of Microcrystalline Cellulose and Its Physiochemical Characterization by Using Metal Ion Catalyst

Hydrolyzing the amorphous region while keeping the crystalline region unaltered is the key technology for producing nanocellulose. This study investigated if the dissolution properties of the amorphous region of microcrystalline cellulose can be enhanced in the presence of Fe3+ salt in acidic medium. The process parameters, including temperature, time and the concentration of metal chloride cat...

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...
