Analytical Fast Pyrolysis of Glucose, Cellubiose and Cellulose: Comparison of the Pyrolytic Product Distribution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was employed for the fast pyrolysis of glucose, cellubiose and cellulose in this study. The pyrolytic products from the three glucose-based materials were determined and compared to reveal the distribution differences. The results indicated that fast pyrolysis of the three materials obtained similar pyrolytic products, including the anhydrosugars, furans, linear carbonyls and cyclopentanones, but the distribution of the pyrolytic products differed from each other. The cellulose formed more anhydrosugars, but less carbonyls and furans than the glucose and cellubiose. The glycosidic bond of the cellubiose and cellulose would favor the pyrolytic depolymerization reactions to form various anhydrosugars, while inhibit the pyrolytic fragmentation reactions to produce linear carbonyls.
