Abstract
A process involving the pyrolysis of naturally occurring carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose has industrial potential for the production of levoglucosan and levoglucosan-like material. The reaction is complex. For high conversions and good product yields, high temperature, low pressure, and a low-pressure gas flow are necessary. A screw conveyor type of reactor has been used for continuous pyrolysis of starch. Dielectric heating is being studied as a means of overcoming poor heat transfer to the starch mass.
