| Research Abstract |
Pyrolysis-based conversion methods are potential biorefinary technologies for the production of liquid and gaseous fuels and useful chemicals from biomass resources. "Charring" reaction, however, reduces the production efficiency of these value-added products. We propose the acid-catalysis mechanism through intermolecular hydrogen bonding for this charring reaction. In this project, we confirmed the proposed mechanism and succeeded to produce C2 and C3 chemicals efficiently from biomass by controlling the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in hydrogen bond acceptor solvents and in the gas-phase reactions.
