Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to methods and catalysts for hydrolyzing complex carbohydrates. In an embodiment, the invention includes a process for producing monosaccharides from a complex carbohydrate feedstock including the operations of heating the complex carbohydrate feedstock to a temperature greater than about 150 degrees Celsius and contacting the complex carbohydrate feedstock with a metal oxide catalyst. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of hydrolyzing complex carbohydrates including the operations of heating the complex carbohydrate feedstock to a temperature greater than about 150 degrees Celsius and passing the complex carbohydrate feedstock through a housing to form a reaction product mixture. In an embodiment, the invention includes a polysaccharide hydrolysis reactor including a reactor housing and a catalyst disposed within the reactor housing. Other embodiments are also described herein.
