An effective and friendly method was developed for the production of reducing sugars (RS) from the hydrolysis of cellulose over the solid catalyst of Ca-montmorillonite (Mt) grafted by non-acidic ionic liquid (Mt-IL) in water. The effect of mass ratio, water dosage, reaction temperature, and time were investigated in a batch reactor. Raw Mt showed only a 7.9% total reducing sugars (TRS) yield for the catalytic hydrolysis of cellulose in water. As the Mt was grafted by -SO3H and IL, the TRS yield greatly increased under the same reaction conditions. The highest TRS yield of 35.7% was obtained on the catalyst of Mt grafted by non-acidic IL at 200 °C with the mass ratio of catalyst to cellulose of 0.2 for 120 min. The high TRS yield for Mt-IL should be attributed to the synergistic effect of the dissolution of cellulose by IL and the exposed metal ions on the layer with water. Although the yield of TRS on Mt-IL decreased gradually with recycling runs, the decrease after the first run was not very serious compared to the fresh catalyst. This work provides a promising strategy for efficient cellulose hydrolysis into fine chemicals by Mt with non-acidic IL.

Cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) is convertible into glucose by hydrolysis process, which usually requires a catalyst. A solid acid catalyst of sulfonated carbon was used in this work. This study aimed to observe the viability of candlenut shell as carbonaceous source in solid acid catalyst production and to characterize the sulfonated carbon. The carbonization was performed at 250-550 ºC for 4 h, while sulfonation was carried out at 100-180 ºC for 6 h. Sulfonated carbon was then characterized by H+ activity/acid density test, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Sulfonated carbon was then tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for hydrolysis reaction. The reaction was performed in a stainless steel batch reactor at 100 ºC for 6 h. Glucose formed by hydrolysis was measured by dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. Results of this study suggested that sulfonated carbon derived from candlenut shell may be used as a catalyst for cogon grass cellulose hydrolysis to produce glucose

The hydrolysis of cellulose into platform compounds and chemicals fuels has gained much attention to relieve the global energy crisis and environmental pollution. The filter paper (FP) cellulose with average degree of polymerization (DP) of 1000-1300 was dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) firstly. And then acidic ionic liquids (ILs), ([(CH2)3SO3HVIm]HSO4) as the catalyst was applied to hydrolyze the FP cellulose by microwave heating. Compared with the oil bath heating method, microwave heating could effectively increase the total reducing sugars (TRS) yield about 10.7%. When the ratio of ILs catalyst to FP (w/w) was 0.167, and the ratio of deionized water to FP (w/w) was 0.833, the TRS yield was up to 60.8% within 20 min at 100°C.

Sugar beet shreds were pretreated by hydrothermal procedure to investigate the effect of beta-glucosidase supplementation at different substrate loading on the rate of cellulose hydrolysis. Cellulose in the hydrothermally pretreated substrate was more efficiently hydrolyzed by enzymes than in untreated material, resulting in more than two times higher release of reducing sugars. In the investigated range of solids load, supplementation of fungal cellulases cocktail by beta-glucosidase increased production of reducing sugars from substrates, while 0.25 U/g was sufficient to achieve the highest effect under applied conditions.

The lignocellulose is a widespread renewable resource. With the decrease of the petrochemical resources, lignocellulose is very important as an alternative resource to produce fuel ethanol. As for the conversion of cellulose into fuel ethanol, the saccharification of cellulose is a key process. The environment benign process using ionic liquid-water mixtures is studied to mild hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose without acid as catalyst. Ionic liquid of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl) is chosen to mix with water because it has great solubility of cellulose. The mass ratio of water with ionic liquid, reaction temperature and reaction time are studied and the optimal conditions of glucose yield are obtained as follows: the mass ratio of water 0.375, the reaction temperature 433 K and the reaction time 4h, and the yield of glucose is 77.08%.
