In this study, L-rhamnose monohydrate (LRM) was used as a model compound of seaweed polysaccharide to study its pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis mechanism. Initially, the weight loss curve of LRM was obtained by thermogravimetric anal. The main weight loss temperature was found to be at 350-550°C. Then, the pyrolysis mechanism of LRM was analyzed and verified by macroscopic experiments and mol. simulations. Experiments showed that the bio-oil yield was highest when the temperature reached around 500°C, and the bio-oil contained large amount of furan substances. Finally, the effects of different proportions of catalysts (Mg-Ce/ZSM-5) on bio-oil products were studied, and the catalytic reaction mechanism was discussed. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (2R,3R,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyhexanal hydrate (cas: 10030-85-0Formula: C6H14O6).
(2R,3R,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyhexanal hydrate (cas: 10030-85-0) belongs to alcohols. Similar to water, an alcohol can be pictured as having an sp3 hybridized tetrahedral oxygen atom with nonbonding pairs of electrons occupying two of the four sp3 hybrid orbitals. A multistep synthesis may use Grignard-like reactions to form an alcohol with the desired carbon structure, followed by reactions to convert the hydroxyl group of the alcohol to the desired functionality.Formula: C6H14O6
