Polysaccharides
• Polysaccharides hydrolysed to constituent sugars under acidic conditions
• Depends on:- physical structure and accessibility (esp. for cellulose)- conformation of sugar constituents- sidechains for hemicelluloses- hydrolysis medium & conditions
• Resulting sugars more stable than under alkaline conditions, but condensation and dehydration can occur
• Acetyl groups hydrolysed under acidic conditions, esp. at elevated temperatures- Released acetic acid lowers pH and can catalyse hydrolysis

Rates of acid hydrolysis
• In practice, heterogeneous hydrolysis rate differences are even greater:- Cellulose 1- Mannan 60- Xylan 60-80- Galactan300

Dehydration and condensation
• Acid hydrolysis can lead to formation of dehydration and condensation products, depending on hydrolysis conditions

Hydrolysis of xylans
• Arabinofuranose units readily cleaved off softwood xylans • Glycosidic linkages of uronic acid group only partially hydrolysed so
get biuronic acids after hydrolysis• Uronic acid substituents also slow xylan hydrolysis

Reactions of lignin
• Reactions under acidic conditions• Cleavage of - and -ether linkages• Cleavage of lignin-carbohydrate bonds• Release of formaldehyde due to sidechain cleavage• Condensation reactions

Other reactions under acidic conditions
• Formaldehyde elimination from sidechain
• Condensation
- species that can trap the intermediate carbonium ion (bisulfite, phenols, thioglycolic acid, chloride) reduce condensation
- liberated formaldehyde can also participate in condensations

Suppressing condensation reactions
• Addition of 2% of phenol and other additives can suppress lignin condensation- 2-naphthol most effective

Solvent pulping
• Separation of woods by treatment with organic solvents- Range of different solvents- Many include acid or alkali to
enhance pulping rates• Examples:
- Allcel – EtOH/water (1:1), ~190ºC, ~60 min
- Acetic acid/water pulping- Organocell – NaOH,
methanol, catalytic AQ• Requires v. efficient solvent
recovery
