Toward an aggregated understanding of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose: noncomplexed cellulase systems.

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is timely to revisit and reinvigorate functional modeling of cellulose hydrolysis and that this would be highly beneficial if not necessary in order to bring to bear the large volume of information available on cellulase components on the primary applications that motivate interest in the subject.

Raney Ni-Sn Catalyst for H2 Production from Biomass-Derived Hydrocarbons

TL;DR: Hydrogen was produced by aqueous-phase reforming of biomass-derived oxygenated hydrocarbons at temperatures near 500 kelvin over a tin-promoted Raney-nickel catalyst, which compares favorably with that of platinum-based catalysts for production of hydrogen from ethylene glycol, glycerol, and sorbitol.

Dissolution and Hydrolysis of Cellulose in Subcritical and Supercritical Water

TL;DR: In this paper, microcrystalline cellulose decomposition experiments were conducted in subcritical and supercritical water (25 MPa, 320−400 °C, and 0.05−10.0 s).
Journal ArticleDOI

Productive and parasitic pathways in dilute acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of cellulose

TL;DR: In this article, an acid-catalized parasitic pathway was found to operate in competition with the glucose production pathway in the presence of acid, and kinetic modeling of the measured, temperature-dependent rates of glucose evolution indictaes that an acidated, catalized, parasitic pathway operates in competition.
