Acid-Catalyzed Conversion of Xylose in Methanol-RichMedium as Part of Biorefinery

Acid treatments of xylose have been performed in a methanol/water mixture to investigate the reaction pathways of xylose during bio-oil esterification. Xylose was mainly converted into methyl xylosides with negligible humins formed below 130 °C. However, humins formation became significant with the...
