Degradation of Plant Cellulose by Microwave-Catalysis Coupling Technology

Abstract:

The degradation reaction of cellulose under the condition of microwave irradiation in an acidic aqueous medium including H2O2 has been investigated. The main factors, the solution acidity, reaction temperature and time, can have an effect on the cellulose degradation. The cellulose oxidative degradable polymerization was associated mainly with the action of releasing from H₂O₂. The scheme reflecting the main pathways of cellulose degradation in the reaction system of HCl/ H₂O₂ is proposed. A comparative study was investigated to evaluate the effects of microwave and conventional heating on cellulose degradation.
