Screening of catalysts and reaction conditions for the direct conversion of corncob xylan to xylitol

Different supported metal catalysts were tested for the one-pot transformation of corncob xylan to xylitol. The influence of several factors, such as catalytic support, nature of metal, metal loading, amount of catalyst, hydrogen pressure and reaction temperature, was investigated. The results revea...
