The Effect of HCl-AlCl₃(Catalyst) Concentrations on Acid Hydrolysis of Ricestraw Cellulose

염산(鹽酸)과 촉매 AlCl₃의 농도가 볏짚 Cellulose의 산가수분해(酸加水分解)에 미치는 영향

81.9% of the cellulose delignified by acetosolv process was hydrolyzed in HCl-$AlCl_3$ hydrolysis system when $AlCl_3$ was used as catalyst in breaking down of glycosidic bond of cellulose. It was well compared that the HCl hydrolysis system without $AlCl_3$ as catalyst showed only 60~61% of the hydrolyzed yield. Also monosaccharide yield including glucose clearly increased when $AlCl_3$ was use. When concentration of HCl and $AlCl_3$ was increased, the hydrolyzed monosaccharide was increased within certain range. The monosaccharid yield out of the hydrolyzed reached 55.4% at optimum conditions which were identified as 20% of Hel solution, 0.03 Mol of $AlCl_3$, $120^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and 7 hours of reaction time employed in this study.
