  • Title: Sulfonated hierarchical H-USY zeolite for efficient hydrolysis of hemicellulose/cellulose.
    Author: Zhou L, Liu Z, Shi M, Du S, Su Y, Yang X, Xu J.
    Journal: Carbohydr Polym; 2013 Oct 15; 98(1):146-51. PubMed ID: 23987328.
    Abstract:
    Sulfonated hierarchical H-USY zeolite was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 physisorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, and acid-base titration. It was proved that sulfonic group was successfully anchored onto the hierarchical H-USY zeolite. The acidity of the hierarchical H-USY was remarkably improved. Sulfonated hierarchical H-USY zeolite was efficient for the hydrolysis of hemicellulose and cellulose. The yield of TRS for hydrolysis of hemicellulose reached 78.0% at 140 °C for 9h. For hydrolysis of α-cellulose, 60.8% conversion with 22.4% yield of glucose was obtained. Even for microcrystalline cellulose, 43.7% conversion with 15.1% yield of glucose can be obtained. These results are much higher than those obtained over hierarchical H-USY zeolite, indicating that both the acidity and the pore structure determine the activity of zeolite as catalyst in the hydrolysis of biomass.
