RT info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart T1 Processing of lignocellulosic biomass derived monomers with high-pressure CO2 and CO2-H2O mixtures A1 Gallina, Gianluca A1 Biasi, Pierdomenico A1 Piqueras, Cristian Martín A1 García Serna, Juan AB The degradation of monosaccharides, though often undesired in lignocellulosic pretreatment,often lead to the formation of products with a higher value than the same sugars. In this chapter, detailed information related to monomers-based lignocellulosic biomass decompositiontowards value added products using both water alone and water/CO2 mixture is showed. Wewill analyse the reaction mechanisms leading to the rupture of the oligomers intomonosaccharaides, and then they breakage through dehydration reactions or aldol reactions. Itwill be demonstrated that CO2 plays a determinant role in catalysis of hydrolytic reactions thattake place in aqueous media.The optimum conditions for obtaining different products will be discussed, also providing someindications on which configuration to adopt, for increasing the selectivity of some reactionswith respect to others.
