In order to optimize the efficiency of PMAH, several experimental parameters were investigated, including liquid-solid ratio, hydrolysis time, sulfuric acid concentration and hydrolysis temperature. The optimized hydrolysis conditions were as follows：pressured microwave-assisted hydrolysis of crude GA for 21 min （taking 15 min to reach 150 ℃, and holding it for 6 rain） at 150 ℃ （at a radiation power of 450 W） in 3%-5% sulfuric acid solution with the liquid-solid （ml.g-1 crude GA） ratio of 25 ： 1. As a result of the considerable saving in time and higher product yields （up to 90%）, PMAH was proved more effective than conventional methods.展开更多
