Excerpt
Excerpt acid catalyzed
reactions are thought to depolymerize the biomass
to oligomers that can be subsequently converted
to monomers. The acids in the reaction, which are
carboxylic acids, are generated from the reaction
and then participate in the conversion of other
reaction intermediates. Alkaline cations, which are
present in lignocellulosic feedstocks, catalyze
reactions to lower molecular weight species as well
as catalyzing ring opening reactions. |
