“…Both ethanol and DMSO are alternative polar organic solvents, with ethanol as an example of a protic and DMSO as an example of an aprotic solvent. The formation of humins is usually impeded by non-aqueous solvents [ 9 , 18 , 40 ]; therefore, we expected a molar 1:1 mixture of water and the organic solvents to exhibit lower humin formation than pure H 2 O. The sugars and solvents were combined with three different acid catalysts: sulfuric acid (pK a of −3) was chosen as a strong inorganic acid, which is also commonly used in industrial acid catalysis [ 3 ].…”

“…In the latter, insoluble black solid polymers are formed, which are called humins [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. They are formed during the acid-catalyzed conversion of carbohydrates below a temperature of 250 °C [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Humins are particularly problematic for industrial processes, as they clog up both reactor and catalyst, and signify a waste of resources into an unusable side product [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

“…The theoretical H/C and O/C ratios for polymerized furfural are H/C = 0.8 and O/C = 0.4, according to the polymerization scheme provided in Zeitsch, which is not very different from the measured values for the black particles that average H/C = 0.88 and O/C = 0.26. Aside from these differences, the black particles share many similarities in both properties and apparent structure with both humins [24] and pseudo-lignins, which is another class of solid by-product. Pseudo-lignins are derived from condensation reactions between dehydrated polysaccharides, such as HMF and furfural, that take place during high-severity pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass in the presence of acids (Fig.…”
