Abstract:The compositions of the water-soluble substances formed on the thermocatalytic activation of aspen wood under the conditions of explosive autohydrolysis at temperatures of 187, 220, and 240°C and, correspondingly, saturated steam pressures of 1.2, 2.4, and 3.4 MPa have been studied. The water-soluble compounds are formed as the result of hydrolysis reactions of the components of the wood catalyzed by organic acids produced in the decomposition of hemicelluloses. It has been established that the main water-so… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
