We extend our former kinetic and experimental study of hydrogenolysis of di‐ and trisaccharides using Ru/C in combination with a molecular acid as a catalyst system, to longer oligosaccharides up to heptasaccharide. The extended kinetics, despite the considerably more complex reaction network, reconfirms our previous hypothesis that reactions of oligosaccharides proceed through two competing reaction pathways, namely hydrolysis of oligosaccharides and their hydrogenation to a reduced form. This challenges the widely accepted supposition that conversion of polysaccharides to sorbitol passes consecutively through hydrolysis to monosaccharides followed by hydrogenation to sorbitol. This works also sets forth the hypothesis that hydrogenation of long‐chain oligosaccharides increases the rate of hydrolysis to a considerable extent and presents a significant alternative pathway in sorbitol formation.

“…Consequently, extensive investigations on the substitution of fossil resources by biomass-based resources were carried out in recent years and, as an example, various biorefinery concepts for the production of chemicals, materials and fuels have been proposed [2,3]. However, thorough consideration of sustainability criteria, ideally in an early development stage, confines such proposals to a few viable strategies.…”

Conversion of Carbon Monoxide‐Rich Synthesis Gas to Hydrocarbons and Alcohols over Cu/Co/ZnO/SiO₂ Catalysts

Catalysts of the type Cu/Co/ZnO/SiO 2 were prepared by impregnation, subsequent calcination and reduction with hydrogen. Characterization of the catalysts was carried out by ICP-AES, BET measurements and powder X-ray diffraction analyses. Furthermore, temperature programmed reduction was employed to investigate their reduction behavior. The catalysts were tested in the conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and alcohols. High CO conversions could be reached in a single reactor pass. Selectivity was highest for methane, and short-chain hydrocarbons, but alcohols were also formed.

Plant‐Based Antioxidant Nanoparticles without Biological Toxicity

et al. 2018

Here, we present a function to derive non‐deteriorated nanoparticulated lignin as an antioxidant without biological toxicity that is supplied through the simultaneous enzymatic saccharification and comminution of plants. The lignin exhibits an oxygen radical absorption capacity, even in its macromolecular nature. The non‐deteriorated lignin nanoparticles never inhibit the biological activity of living things, despite their antioxidant nature. The oxygen radical absorption capacity of lignin is dependent on its botanical origin and monomeric structure. A stable organic radical in lignin is responsible for the antioxidant nature of non‐deteriorated lignin. The organic radical of non‐deteriorated lignin, which yields a distinct signal on electron spin resonance spectra, serves as a spin trap reagent that detects the emergence of short lifespan radicals as the change of radical concentration of the lignin. The presented discovery of non‐deteriorated lignin will induce not only the industrial utilization of plant biomass polymers in pharmaceuticals and reagents, but also advance our scientific understanding of the antioxidant function of native lignin.
