Abstract
The 1,6-anhydrosaccharides content in volatile products and the ratio of LG/LGone is governed by the phosphoric acid concentration. The same is true for cellulose soaked by iron sulfate: at higher concentration, the LGone content increases and the LG/LGone ratio decreases. The mechanism of the action of iron ions depends on the iron species formed upon the cellulose-containing raw materials pre-treatment procedures with iron sulfate. Upon pyrolysis, the adsorbed iron sulfate increases the amount of both LG and LGone in volatile products through the acidic catalysis mechanism owing to sulfate anions activity. The pre-treatment by the ion-exchange method could be considered as an efficient technique for obtaining the biooil containing levoglucosan in high content: 44.8% from cellulose and 27.3% from wood. The results are interpreted based on the quantitative evaluation of the pyrograms and the ESR spectra of the treated wood.
