Differences in Water-Soluble Intermediates from Slow Pyrolysis of Amorphous and Crystalline Cellulose

The paper reports the significant differences in the pyrolysis behavior between amorphous and crystalline cellulose. The strong hydrogen bonding networks in crystalline cellulose appear to preserve the sugar ring structure during pyrolysis so that the yield (a maximum of ~30% on a carbon basis at 25...
