Abstract
Isomerization and hydrolysis reactions of cellobiose, maltose, and lactose were investigated over various minerals and synthetic zeolite catalysts. Zeolites of type A, X, and Y are the most active for such reactions. Product distributions were determined from batch experiments and are compared with those obtained under homogeneous alkaline conditions. Product distributions indicate that reaction routes consist of parallel hydrolysis and isomerization of the disaccharides to their corresponding ketoses, followed by hydrolysis of the ketoses. Approximately 10–13% of the disaccharide reacted is not accounted for in the product distribution, indicating that degradation reactions occur, probably in the alkaline broth of the mixtures.
