Kinetic study of cellulose hydrolysis with tungsten‐based acid catalysts

Tungsten plays an important role in transforming cellulose to C2C3 polyols. In previous reports, the research focus was mainly on the CC cleavage reactions of cellulose catalyzed by various tungsten‐containing catalysts, but less on its catalytic role in cellulose hydrolysis although it is usually considered as the rate‐determining step in cellulose conversion. In this article, the method of determining kinetics parameters for hydrolyzing...
