Fig. 2. Effects of reaction conditions on dissolution (1 − R) of lignin (●) and carbohydrates (glucan, ⬢; xylan, ⬟; mannan, ◆).
R is based on the component in untreated poplar wood. (A) p-TsOH concentration effects for 20 min at 80°C. (B) Temperature effects at p-TsOH concentration P = 75 wt % for 20 min. (C and D) Time effects at P = 75 wt % and 80°C (C) and at P = 80 wt % and 80°C (D).
