Selective conversion of microcrystalline cellulose into hexitols on nickel particles encapsulated within ZSM-5 zeolite

Abstract

A highly active and selective Ni/ZSM-5 catalyst was prepared by a simple method. A selectivity of 91.2% to hexitols was obtained at intermediate conversion in the hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose.
