The side reactions of saccharides and 5-hydromethyl furfural to form humins were suppressed by controlling the cellulose hydrolysis reaction to match the subsequent reactions.

Abstract Birch samples were subjected to non-isothermal autohydrolysis to obtain a solution of hemicellulosic saccharides and a solid phase mainly made up of cellulose and lignin. Based on kinetic modeling, operational conditions were identified which give rise to soluble saccharides and furfural derived from xylan in a yield of 80.5%. The soluble mixture was supplemented with 1% sulfuric acid and heated (directly or in the presence of methyl isobutyl ketone, MIBK) for furfural production. MIBK is used as an extraction agent to limit furfural consumption by side reactions. Operating in single phase at 170°C, up to 44.8% of the potential substrates were converted into furfural. In experiments performed in biphasic media, the effects of MIBK were assessed by empirical modeling and about 75% of the potential substrates were converted under selected conditions.

A new method has been developed for the indirect determination of nitroso- and nitrophenols by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) after extraction of ionic associates involving bipyridylocopper(II) (CuDP) or phenanthrolinocopper(II) (CuPH) complexes. Nitrobenzene and methyl isobutyl ketone appeared to be suitable for the extraction. It was possible to determine several tenths to hundredths of a milligram of nitrophenol in a litre. Extractable associates with CuDP and CuPH are formed by phenols possessing two substituents or by higher molecular weight phenols such as naphthol or hydroxyquinoline. Monosubstituted phenols fail to form associates of this kind.
