Overview

Review evaluates acid-catalyzed biomass conversion methods, focusing on xylose yield and efficiency in various feedstocks.

Key Points

  • The aim is to analyze feedstock-dependent reactivity and catalytic performance in acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.
  • Analyzed catalytic systems for biomass deconstruction from agricultural residues, woody biomass, and energy crops.
  • Correlated proton activity, reaction severity, and lignin chemistry to conversion behavior.
  • Identified optimal severity windows for catalytic efficiency in integrated biorefineries.
  • Established a structure–reactivity–performance framework for biomass hydrolysis.
  • Highlighted competing dehydration and condensation pathways that reduce xylose selectivity.
  • Provided guidance for optimizing acid catalytic systems and reactor designs.
