Competitive Reactions in the Thermal Decomposition of Cellulose

Open access
Arseneau, Donald F.·1971·Canadian Journal of Chemistry

Abstract

Further evidence is presented to show that when cellulose is heated it undergoes two competitive reactions. The actual sequence of these is clarified, being different from that previously postulated. The natures of these reactions are studied, activation energies are determined, and their possible mechanisms are suggested. The thermogram for levoglucosan decomposition is given and briefly discussed.

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.
