Figure 9From: A novel population balance model for the dilute acid hydrolysis of hemicellulose Predicted xylose, furfural and oligomer yields at 155°C and 170°C, respectively. Model predicted oligomer profiles (solid) compared to heating compromised experimental data (symbol). Key: Xylose (black circle), i=2 (red diamond), i=3 (blue star), i=4 (red violet triangle), i=5 (green square), i=6 (grey asterisk), furfural (orange multiplication sign).Back to article page
