Oxime-trimethylsilylation method for analysis of wood pyrolysate
TL;DR: In this article, the oxime-trimethylsilylation (TMS) method was applied to the analysis of wood pyrolysate and the results showed that glycolaldehyde decomposes into formic acid and the unknown compound with molecular weight of 72 at the injector.

Journal ArticleDOI
Gas- and coke/soot-forming reactivities of cellulose-derived tar components under nitrogen and oxygen/nitrogen
TL;DR: In this article, eight types of cellulose-derived primary volatile product, i.e., levoglucosan, glycolaldehyde, furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), hydroxyacetone, acetic acid, formic acid, and MeOH, were pyrolyzed separately under N2 and O2/N2 at 500-600°C for 10min in a closed ampoule, to clarify their gas and coke/soot-formation behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-step hydrolysis of nipa (Nypa fruticans) frond as treated by semi-flow hot-compressed water
TL;DR: In this article, two-stage hydrolysis of nipa fruticans, one of the monocotyledonous angiosperms, was studied in a semiflow hot-compressed water treatment at 2308C/10 MPa/15 min (first stage) and 2708c/10MPa/30 min (second stage).
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of three tissue fractions in corn (Zea mays) cob
TL;DR: In this paper, the cell wall components in these tissue fractions were characterized to examine their tissue morphology, and the differences in chemical composition and lignin structures influence the decomposition behaviors in various treatments; thus, this information provides a clue to promote efficient utilization of corn cob into value added chemicals.
