Kinetic Study of the Decomposition of Cellulose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Ionic Liquid

The kinetics of cellulose decomposition in ionic liquid was investigated using microcrystalline cellulose as a raw material. Curve fitting of cellulose degradation kinetic data was carried out by MATLAB. Experimental results demonstrated that the cellulose decomposition rate constant, k1, was less t...
