| Title | Single step process for making high-value chemicals like xylose and arabinose from hemicellulose |
| Knowhow is available for | Improved single step hydrolytic process for generating high value chemicals such as xylose and arabinose from hemicellulose |
| Summary | NCL scientists have developed a one pot, single step hydrolytic process for conversion of hemicellulose to xylose and arabinose. The process operates under milder reaction conditions (pressure range of 1-70 bar and reactor temperature of 50-250 ÌŠC). |
| Advantages | • Raw material (hemicellulose) used is cheap, easily available, and is derived from non-edible sources • The product-catalyst separation can be done by simple filtration (heterogenous solid acid catalyst used is insoluble in the reaction medium, whereas the products are soluble) • The process is anti corrosive and environment friendly since water is the reaction medium and process operates at a neutral pH • Cost effective due to the reaction being non-corrosive in nature and hence industrially applicable |
