TL;DR: The carbon catalyst can be readily separated from the saccharide solution after reaction for reuse in the reaction without loss of activity, and the catalytic performance of the carbon catalyst is attributed to the ability of the material to adsorb beta-1,4 glucan, which does not adsorb to other solid acids.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the synergetic combination of high densities of the functional groups bonded to amorphous carbon causes the efficient hydrolysis of beta-1,4-glucan, including cellulose, on the carbon material.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an artificial neural network (ANN) and a response surface methodology (RSM) to investigate cellulose hydrolysis with a highly active solid acid catalyst, a carbon material bearing SO3H, COOH, and OH groups.

TL;DR: In this article, SO 3 H-bearing amorphous carbon was applied as a solid catalyst for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of β-1,4 glucan, including cellobiose and crystalline cellulose.

TL;DR: In this article, a SO 3 H-bearing mesoporous carbon material was investigated as a new type of heterogeneous catalyst for the selective dimerization of α-methylstyrene (AMS).
