Abstract
Through the phase-separation reaction system with sulfuric acid, lignocellulosics which form an interpenetrating polymer network within the cell wall were separated almost quantitatively into different phases within 20 min. The yield of carbohydrate of acid layer after the 60 min phase-separation treatment was 71% of raw material (98% of carbohydrate). A total yield of original lignin without grafting cresol in lignocresol, acid phase sugar and cresol phase sugar was 96% of raw material at the 60 min phase-separation treatment. It was possible to control conversion pattern of lignocellulosics component with the quantity of the phenol derivatives.
