Need help on how to synthesize cellulose from wood, through acid hydrolysis


Cellulose

Recommended Posts

Surely you are isolating it rather than synthesising it? What about it are you finding difficult to navigate? I think you're mostly just separating it from the lignocellulosic biomass, and acid hydrolysis should be okay for this. In any case, purifying it from plant samples is not an uncommon practice, so a Google Scholar search or a SciFinder search for specific protocols should give you plenty of hits.

Is acid hydrolysis the same as acidification? If not, in plain simple english what is acid hydrolysis, forgive my ignorance. what I was able read so far are all industrial pulping methods, not quite suitable for laboratory experiments.

In this context, yes. I'm not sure what you are Googling if you aren't getting results. I looked up papers using the terms I mentioned in my last post via Goggle Scholar and got thousands.
