Selective Production of Xylose and Xylo-oligosaccharides from Bamboo Biomass by Sulfonated Allophane Solid Acid Catalyst
Bamboo biomass was hydrolyzed by using sulfonated allophane catalyst and hemicellulose in bamboo was preferentially decomposed to xylose and xylo-oligosaccharides in the range from 130 to 160 degrees C.
