Hydrothermal conversion of bamboo: Identification and distribution of the components in solid residue, water-soluble and acetone-soluble fractions
Abstract
Hydrothermal conversion is an important thermochemical process to upgrade low-cost lignocellulose into valuable chemicals or fuels. Studies on hydrothermal products compositions and their distributions are of great significance in lignocellulose upgradation. In this work, the major products of bamboo hydrothermally treated at 180-240 °C for 3-60 min and their distributions were comparatively studied. According to the hydrothermal conditions, the hydrothermal products were composed of 37.11-89.98% of solid residues, 4.51-20.41% of water-soluble fractions (WS), and 4.23-16.17% of acetone-soluble fractions (AS). The products in WS fractions mainly consisted of furfural (FF), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and phenolic compounds, while the products in AS fractions were mainly 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone and complex aromatic compounds with multibenzene rings. Additionally, the highest yields of FF (33.4%) and HMF (15.6%) were observed at 200 °C for 60 min and 240 °C for 60 min, respectively.

In hydrothermal carbonization, a lower temperature and residence time leads to a high yield of solid product and low carbon conversion and higher heating value (HHV).
“In this process, a lower temperature and residence time leads to a high yield of solid product and low carbon conversion and higher heating value (HHV) [22,23].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
