Magnetic solid acid catalyst for hydrolyzing cellulose

Source : greencarcongress.com

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (Hefei) report the development of a magnetic solid acid catalyst for the hydrolysis of cellulose into glucose for biofuel production in a paper published in the journal ChemSusChem. Using the sulfonic acid catalyst, the team studied hydrolysis of different feedstocks including cellobiose, starch, cellulose and lignocellulose from corn cobs. The sulfonic acid catalyst produced glucose yields of up to 96% from cellobiose. The acid can be used repeatedly without deactivation. Commercialization of the catalyst and approach would require further optimization of hydrolysis conditions and a low-cost synthesis method, the researchers note.
