A Study of thermal decomposition in cellulose by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
PM3 method was used in this paper to optimize cellulose molecular structure which is the main component of biomass and a series of structural parameter was attained. The single chain of cellulose (the degree of polymerization is 9) was simulated in different force fields by molecular dynamic method. Energy history, deposition temperature and the cracked groups of simulation process in different force fields was gotten, of which Amber force field is quite matched to the experiments data. The heating process includes two stages: vibrate at low temperature (273k-375k) and break at high temperature when the temperature of the system arrived at 375K.By simulating the process of cellulose thermal decomposition with MD which is based on Amber force field and quantum mechanics, we get the sequence of bond break of cellulose molecule and the first cracked group. Also, the first production was analyzed.
