[PMID: 38456191 PMCID: PMC10915861 DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.3c07894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural (Fur) are promising biobased platform chemicals, derived from the dehydration of carbohydrate feedstocks, normally conducted in an aqueous phase. Plagued by side-reactions in such phase, such as the rehydration to levulinic acid (LA) and formic acid (FA) or self-condensation to humins, HMF and Fur necessitates diversification from monophasic aqueous reaction systems toward biphasic systems to mitigate undesired side-reactions. Here, a methodology based on the COnductor-like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS) method was used to screen solvent candidates based on the predicted partition coefficients (Ki). Hansen solubility parameters in conjunction with excess thermodynamic quantities determined by COSMO-RS were employed to assess solvent compatibility. Experimental validation of the COSMO-RS values highlighted only minor deviations from the predictions with root-mean-square-error (RMSE) values of HMF and Fur at 0.76 and 5.32, respectively, at 298 K. The combined effort suggested cyclohexanone, isophorone, and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) as the best candidates. Finally, extraction solvent reuse demonstrated cyclohexanone suitability for HMF extraction with KHMF of 3.66 and MIBK for Fur with KFur 7.80 with consistent partitioning across four total runs. Both solvents are classified as recommended by the CHEM21 solvent selection guide, hence adding to the sustainability of the process.

Abstract
Arundo donax L samples, before or after aqueous extraction to remove extractives, were subjected to chemical fractionation in H2SO4-catalyzed mixtures of 1-butanol and water. The partial miscibility of 1-butanol and water at room temperature allowed the separation of the three major feedstock components in separate streams (lignin, accumulated in the 1-butanol-rich phase; hemicellulose-derived products, accumulated in the aqueous acidic phase; and cellulose, present in the solid phase). The effects of selected variables (temperature, catalyst concentration, reaction time and 1-butanol content of the reaction media) on variables measuring the solid recovery yield and the compositions of phases from fractionation were measured. Using water-extracted A. donax L as a substrate, the best operational conditions enabled 93.2% hemicellulose removal and 85.4% delignification with limited cellulose solubilization (15%). The experimental results provided key information to assess the proposed process in the scope of biorefineries.

Abstract
The biomass-derived platform compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been hailed as the "Sleeping Giant" due to its promising applications, and it occupies a critical spot in the biomass upgrading roadmap. HMF is typically produced from cellulose and its monosaccharides via a complex tandem conversion with multiple steps (i. e., cellulose depolymerization, glucose isomerization, fructose dehydration, etc.). Previous investigations have confirmed the irreplaceable contribution of solvents in regulating the tandem conversion of cellulose and its monosaccharides to HMF. However, the potential effects of solvents in contributing to this multi-step tandem process have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this context, this Review aims to provide in-depth insights into the intrinsic interactions between solvent system and substrate conversion (cellulose and its monosaccharides conversion), reaction regulation (reaction activity and selectivity regulation), as well as product acquisition (humins formation inhibition and product purification). It attempts to elucidate specific solvent effects to promote a more efficient tandem conversion of cellulose and its monosaccharides towards HMF. The insights provided in this Review may contribute to a more sustainable HMF production from biomass feedstocks and a further development of greener solvent systems.

Abstract
As mentioned in several recent reviews, biomass-based furfural is attracting increasing interest as a feasible alternative for the synthesis of a wide range of non-petroleum-derived compounds. However, the lack of environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable industrial procedures is still evident. This review describes the chemical and biological routes for furfural production. The mechanisms proposed for the chemical transformation of xylose to furfural are detailed, as are the current advances in the manufacture of furfural from biomass. The main goal is to overview the different ways of improving the furfural synthesis process. A pretreatment process, particularly chemical and physico-chemical, enhances the digestibility of biomass, leading to the production of >70 % of available sugars for the production of valuable products. The combination of heterogeneous (zeolite and polymeric solid) catalyst and biphasic solvent system (water/GVL and water/CPME) is regarded as an attractive approach, affording >75 % furfural yield for over 80 % of selectivity with the possibility of catalyst reuse. Microwave heating as an activation technique reduces reaction time at least tenfold, making the process more sustainable. The state of the art in industrial processes is also discussed. It shows that, when sulfuric acid is used, the furfural yields do not exceed 55 % for temperatures close to 180 °C. However, the MTC process recently achieved an 83 % yield by continuously removing furfural from the liquid phase. Finally, the CIMV process, using a formic acid/acetic acid mixture, has been developed. The economic aspects of furfural production are then addressed. Future research will be needed to investigate scaling-up and biological techniques that produce acceptable yields and productivities to become commercially viable and competitive in furfural production from biomass.

Abstract
A comprehensive kinetic model describes the dehydration of xylose starting from the boronate diester-protected xylose (PBA2X). The model incorporates (de)esterification of PBA2X, partitioning, and xylose dehydration, and aims to evaluate the effects of the solvent system on these steps. The model explores the effect of the water contents in monophasic solvent systems, and that of ionic strength and mixing in biphasic aqueous-organic systems. At low water content, hydrolysis of PBA2X is the rate-limiting step, while xylose dehydration is fast. Conversely, in a monophasic three-solvent system, where the water content is higher, complete hydrolysis of the diester is achieved quickly. Under biphasic conditions, xylose dehydration is fast at high ionic strengths, but the slower partitioning/hydrolysis of PBA2X results in an overall slower furfural production. Furthermore, the observed different but high, constant xylose-to-furfural selectivities observed experimentally are tentatively ascribed to a higher order of parallel side-product formation.

Abstract
The exploitation of lignocellulosic biomass (LB) such as sugar bagasse waste in biorefineries is the most cost-effective and favourable sustainable approach to producing essential platform chemicals, materials, and energy environmentally benignly. Herein, a microwave-mediated deep eutectic solvents (DESs)/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) system for efficiently processing LB waste into platform chemicals was proposed thereof. Under optimized appropriate diverse parameters such as solvent varieties, catalyst dosage, DMSO addition, reaction time and temperature, the proposed catalytic system (i.e., microwave mediated DESs/DMSO system) has demonstrated significant yields of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), furfural (FF) and levulinic acid (LevA) of 31.29 %, 28.38 % and 35.65 %, respectively. These favourable results were obtained at the reaction temperature of 140 °C for 40 min. The anticipated catalytic system's activation energy (Ea) was found to be 29.11 kJ/mol. Hence, a practical, inexpensive and sustainable process with the potential of high-value platform chemicals, explicitly for a sustainable strategy in a circular bioeconomy was proposed.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is recognized as an ideal raw material for biorefinery as it may be converted into biofuels and value-added products through a series of chemical routes. Furfural, a bio-based platform chemical generated from lignocellulosic biomass, has been identified as a very versatile alternative to fossil fuels. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are new “green” solvents, which have been employed as green and cheap alternatives to traditional organic solvents and ionic liquids (ILs), with the advantages of low cost, low toxicity, and biodegradability, and also have been proven to be effective media for the synthesis of biomass-derived chemicals. This review summarizes the recent advances in the conversion of carbohydrates to furfural in DES solvent systems, which mainly focus on the effect of adding different catalysts to the DES system, including metal halides, water, solid acid catalyst, and certain oxides, on the production of furfural. Moreover, the challenges and perspectives of DES-assisted furfural synthesis in biorefinery systems are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Sunflower stalk was utilized as a source of raw material and catalyst for furfural production, and efficient conversion of xylose-rich hydrolysate into furfural was developed in an aqueous deep eutectic solvent/organic solvent medium by carbonaceous solid acid catalyst SO42-/SnO2-SSXR. The structural characteristics of SO42-/SnO2-SSXR was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Pyridine Adsorption Fourier-transform Infrared (Py-IR) and Raman. Under the optimum catalytic conditions, furfural (110.1 mM) yield reached 82.6% in a ChCl-MAA/toluene medium at 180 °C in 15 min by 3.6 wt% SO42-/SnO2-SSXR. Additionally, quite importantly, SO42-/SnO2-SSXR, ChCl-MAA and toluene had good recyclability for furfural production. The potential catalytic path of xylose dehydration into furfural was proposed by co-catalysis with SO42-/SnO2-SSXR and ChCl-MAA. This study revealed high potential sustainable application of furfural production.

Abstract
Vine shoots were subjected to a mild aqueous extraction (to remove water-soluble extractives), and the extracted solids were reacted in catalyzed media (containing water and 1-butanol) to achieve the one-stage solubilization of lignin and hemicelluloses, yielding a cellulose-rich solid. Operating in a microwave-heated reactor under optimized conditions (190 °C in media containing 2% of catalyst and 52% 1-butanol), 67.8% lignin was dissolved, and solids containing 75% cellulose were obtained. Lignin was recovered from the reaction medium and characterized, whereas the hemicellulose-derived products present in the aqueous phase (obtained under conditions leading to maximum concentrations of 17.7 g pentoses/L) were converted into furfural at 64.6% molar yield by acidic processing in the presence of recycled 1-butanol.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 340:125691.

Abstract
Using acid-treated corn stalk (CS) as biobased carrier, heterogeous SO42-/SnO2-CS catalyst was firstly prepared to catalyze CS into fufural in deep eutectic solvent-water system. The physical properties of SO42-/SnO2-CS were captured by FT-IR, NH3-TPD, XRD, XPS, and BET. SO42-/SnO2-CS (1.2 wt%) could be used to catalyze CS (75.0 g/L) with MgCl2 (15.0 g/L) to produce furfural (102.3 mM) in the yield of 68.2% for 0.5 h at 170 °C in ChCl:EG-water (20:80, v:v). Moreover, enhanced synthesis of furfural was explored based on the structure changes of CS, furfural yields and formation of byproducts. Finally, the potential catalytic mechanism for catalyzing CS into furfural and byproducts was proposed using SO42-/SnO2-CS as catalyst in ChCl:EG-water containing MgCl2. In summary, this established ChCl:EG-water system and optimized catalytic condition facillitated to synthesize furfural from biomass with biobased solid acid catalyst.

Abstract
Organic/oxide interfaces play an important role in many areas of chemistry and in particular for lubrication and corrosion. Molecular dynamics simulations are the method of choice for providing complementary insight to experiments. However, the force fields used to simulate the interaction between molecules and oxide surfaces tend to capture only weak physisorption interactions, discarding the stabilizing Lewis acid/base interactions. We here propose a simple complement to the straightforward molecular mechanics description based on "out-of-the-box" Lennard-Jones potentials and electrostatic interactions: the addition of an attractive Gaussian potential between reactive sites of the surface and heteroatoms of adsorbed organic molecules, leading to the Gaussian Lennard-Jones (GLJ) potential. The interactions of four oxygenated and four amine molecules with the typical and widespread hematite and γ-alumina surfaces are investigated. The root mean square deviation (RMSD) for all probed molecules is only 5.7 kcal/mol, which corresponds to an error of 23% over hematite. On γ-alumina, the RMSD is 11.2 kcal/mol using a single parameter for all five chemically inequivalent surface aluminum atoms. Applying GLJ to the simulation of organic films on oxide surfaces demonstrates that the mobility of the surfactants is overestimated by the simplistic LJ potential, while GLJ and other qualitatively correct potentials show a strong structuration and slow dynamics of the surface films, as could be expected from the first-principles adsorption energies for model head groups.

Abstract
Zeolites are known to be effective catalysts in biomass converting processes. Understanding the mesoporous structure and dynamics within it during such reactions is important in effectively utilizing them. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) T2 relaxation and diffusion measurements, using a high-power radio frequency probe, are shown to characterize the dynamics of water in mesoporous commercially made 5A zeolite beads before and after the introduction of xylose. Xylose is the starting point in the dehydration into furfural. The results indicate xylose slightly enhances rotational mobility while it decreases translational motion through altering the permeability, K, throughout the porous structure. The measurements show xylose inhibits pure water from relocating into larger pores within the zeolite beads where it eventually is expelled from the bead itself.

Abstract
Transformation of biomass to chemicals and fuels is a long-term goal in both science and industry. However, high cost is one of the major obstacles to the industrialization of this sustainable technology. Thus, developing catalysts with high activity and low-cost is of great importance for biomass conversion. The last two decades have witnessed the increasing achievement of the use of earth-abundant 3d-transition-metals in catalysis due to their low-cost, high efficiency and excellent stability. Here, we aim to review the fast development and recent advances of 3d-metal-based catalysts including Cu, Fe, Co, Ni and Mn in lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Moreover, present research trends and invigorating perspectives on future development are given.

Abstract
Biphasic systems have received increasing attention for acid-catalyzed dehydration of hexoses to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) because of their high efficiency in in situ extraction and stabilization of HMF. Different organic solvents and acid catalysts were applied in these systems, but their effects on the dehydration activity and HMF yield, and the recycling of homogeneous acid catalysts remain largely unexplored. Here, we tested different solvent systems containing a wide range of organic solvents with low boiling points to study the effects of their chemical structures on fructose dehydration and provided stable H2O-dioxane and H2O-acetonitrile biphasic systems with high HMF yields of 76-79% using water-soluble sulfonic derivatives as homogeneous acid catalysts under mild conditions (383 K). By analyzing the partition coefficients of HMF and sulfonic derivatives, 94.3% of HMF and 87.1% of NH2SO3H were, respectively, restrained in the dioxane phase and aqueous phase in the H2O-dioxane biphasic system and easily divided by phase separation. The effects of the adjacent group in sulfonic derivatives and reaction temperature on fructose conversions and HMF yields suggest that in a specific biphasic system, the catalysts' acidity and reaction conditions significantly affect the fructose dehydration activity but hardly influence the optimal yield of HMF, and an almost constant amount of carbon loss was observed mainly due to the poor hydrothermal stability of fructose. Such developments offer a promising strategy to address the challenge in the separation and recycling of homogeneous acid catalysts in the practical HMF production.

Abstract
In the pursuit of establishing a sustainable biobased economy, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing its value as a feedstock. Nevertheless, to achieve the integrated biorefinery paradigm, the selective fractionation of its complex matrix to its single constituents must be complete. This review presents and examines the novel catalytic pathways to form furfuryl alcohol (FuOH) from xylose in a one-pot system. This production concept takes on chemical, thermochemical and biochemical transformations or a combination of them. Still, the bulk of the research is targeted to develop heterogeneous catalytic systems to synthesize FuOH from furfural and xylose. The present review includes an overview of the economic aspects to produce this platform chemical in an industrial manner. In the last section of this review, an outlook and summary of catalytic processes to produce FuOH are highlighted.

Abstract
Furfural has been produced in 53% isolated yield from d-xylose within an aqueous HCl-1,2-dichloroethane biphasic reaction mixture using benzyltributylammonium chloride (BTBAC) as a phase transfer catalyst. The use of BTBAC noticeably improved the yield of furfural compared to that in the control reaction. The reaction was optimized on the reaction temperature, duration, concentration of HCl, and the loading of BTBAC. Furfural and 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF) have also been coproduced from a mixture of pentose and hexose sugars. Under optimized conditions (100 °C, 3 h, 20.2% HCl, 10 wt% BTBAC), CMF and furfural were isolated in 17% and 53% yield, respectively, from a mixture of glucose and xylose. In addition, levulinic acid was isolated from the aqueous layer in 31% yield.

Abstract
Reactive extraction is an emerging operation in the industry, particularly in biorefining. Here, reactive extraction was demonstrated, enhanced by microwave irradiation to selectively heat the reactive phase (for efficient reaction) without unduly heating the extractive phase (for efficient extraction). These conditions aimed at maximizing the asymmetries in dielectric constants and volumes of the reaction and extraction phases, which resulted in an asymmetric thermal response of the two phases. The efficiency improvement was demonstrated by dehydrating xylose (5 wt % in water) to furfural with an optimal yield of approximately 80 mol % compared with 60-65 mol % under conventional biphasic conditions, which corresponds to approximately 50 % reduction of byproducts.

Abstract
In this study, conversion of xylose to furfural was studied using lignin-based activated carbon-supported iron catalysts. First, three activated carbon supports were prepared from hydrolysis lignin with different activation methods. The supports were modified with different metal precursors and metal concentrations into five iron catalysts. The prepared catalysts were studied in furfural production from xylose using different reaction temperatures and times. The best results were achieved with a 4 wt% iron-containing catalyst, 5Fe-ACs, which produced a 57% furfural yield, 92% xylose conversion and 65% reaction selectivity at 170 °C in 3 h. The amount of Fe in 5Fe-ACs was only 3.6 µmol and using this amount of homogeneous FeCl3 as a catalyst, reduced the furfural yield, xylose conversion and selectivity. Good catalytic activity of 5Fe-ACs could be associated with iron oxide and hydroxyl groups on the catalyst surface. Based on the recycling experiments, the prepared catalyst needs some improvements to increase its stability but it is a feasible alternative to homogeneous FeCl3.

Abstract
Non-catalysed and catalysed reactions of aluminium reagents with furans, dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans were investigated and lead to ring-expanded products due to the insertion of the aluminium reagent into a C–O bond of the heterocycle. Specifically, the reaction of [{(ArNCMe)2CH}Al] (Ar = 2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl, 1) with furans proceeded between 25 and 80 °C leading to dearomatised products due to the net transformation of a sp2 C–O bond into a sp2 C–Al bond. The kinetics of the reaction of 1 with furan were found to be 1st order with respect to 1 with activation parameters ΔH‡ = +19.7 (±2.7) kcal mol−1, ΔS‡ = −18.8 (±7.8) cal K−1 mol−1 and ΔG‡298 K = +25.3 (±0.5) kcal mol−1 and a KIE of 1.0 ± 0.1. DFT calculations support a stepwise mechanism involving an initial (4 + 1) cycloaddition of 1 with furan to form a bicyclic intermediate that rearranges by an α-migration. The selectivity of ring-expansion is influenced by factors that weaken the sp2 C–O bond through population of the σ*-orbital. Inclusion of [Pd(PCy3)2] as a catalyst in these reactions results in expansion of the substrate scope to include 2,3-dihydrofurans and 3,4-dihydropyrans and improves selectivity. Under catalysed conditions, the C–O bond that breaks is that adjacent to the sp2C–H bond. The aluminium(iii) dihydride reagent [{(MesNCMe)2CH}AlH2] (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, 2) can also be used under catalytic conditions to effect a dehydrogenative ring-expansion of furans. Further mechanistic analysis shows that C–O bond functionalisation occurs via an initial C–H bond alumination. Kinetic products can be isolated that are derived from installation of the aluminium reagent at the 2-position of the heterocycle. C–H alumination occurs with a KIE of 4.8 ± 0.3 consistent with a turnover limiting step involving oxidative addition of the C–H bond to the palladium catalyst. Isomerisation of the kinetic C–H aluminated product to the thermodynamic C–O ring expansion product is an intramolecular process that is again catalysed by [Pd(PCy3)2]. DFT calculations suggest that the key C–O bond breaking step involves attack of an aluminium based metalloligand on the 2-palladated heterocycle. The new methodology has been applied to important platform chemicals from biomass. Non-catalysed and catalysed reactions of aluminium reagents with furans, dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans were investigated and lead to ring-expanded products due to the insertion of the aluminium reagent into a C–O bond of the heterocycle.![]()

Abstract
Efficient production of furfural from cornstalk in 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran/aqueous (MTHF/H2O) biphasic system via parameter regulation (e.g., VMTHF/VH2O, temperature, time, and H2SO4 concentration) was proposed. The resulting solid residues achieved from the different MTHF/H2O system conditions for furfural production were also to prepare glucose by adding cellulases to increase the high-value applications of cornstalk. A maximum furfural yield (68.1%) was obtained based on reaction condition (VMTHF:VH2O = 1:1, 170 °C, 60 min, 0.05 M H2SO4). Among these parameters, the concentration of H2SO4 had the most obvious effect on the furfural production. The glucose yields of the residues acquired from different MTHF/H2O processes were enhanced and then a maximum value of 78.9% based on the maximum furfural production conditions was observed. Single factor may not be sufficient to detail the difference in glucose production, and several factors affected the hydrolysis efficiency of the residues. Overall, the MTHF/H2O system effectively converted cornstalk into furfural and glucose via a simple and environment-friendly process, thus was an ideal manner for the food industries.

Abstract
5-HMF is a platform chemical that can be used in many applications such as biofuels, monomers, industrial feed stocks, etc. In this work 5-HMF was synthesized from glucose in a biphasic system using a batch reactor. Aluminium oxide and ion exchange resin were used as catalysts in this system. The organic solvent and aqueous solvent were methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP). The effect of operating conditions for synthesis of 5-HMF on the yield and selectivity of 5-HMF was studied including aqueous-to-organic phase ratio, NMP-to-water ratio, catalyst dosage, ratio of catalyst, and reaction time. The optimal conditions were at the reaction temperature of 120 °C and reaction time of 480 min, aqueous-to-organic phase ratio of 7 : 3, NMP-to-water ratio of 4 : 1, 0.3 g of catalyst, and the catalyst ratio of 1 : 2. The conversion of glucose, yield of 5-HMF, and selectivity of 5-HMF were 94.036%, 84.92%, and 90.48%, respectively. 5-HMF, a platform chemical, can be produced efficiently using dual catalyst (ion exchange resin and aluminium oxide).![]()

Abstract
The primary commercial product from the green microalgae Dunaliella salina is β-carotene. After extracting the lipophilic fraction containing this red-orange pigment, an algal residue remains. As the carotenogenesis is induced by light stress with simultaneous nitrogen depletion, the protein content is low and the remnant is comprised largely of storage carbohydrates. In this work, we transformed the defatted remnant directly to the platform chemicals, 5-hydroxy methyl furfural (5-HMF) and levulinic acid (LA), without previous purification or any pretreatment. The batch experiments were carried out in an autoclave under biphasic solvent conditions at 453 K for 1 h using acidic ZSM-5 zeolite as a heterogeneous catalyst. Mixtures of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK/H2O) or tetrahydrofuran (THF/H2O/NaCl) with water were used to create the biphasic reactor conditions. The biphasic reaction mixtures helped to increase the 5-HMF yield and simultaneously mitigated the formation of insoluble humins. The carbon yields of 5-HMF and of LA in the MIBK/H2O biphasic system without NaCl were 13.9% and 3.7%, respectively. The highest carbon yield of 5-HMF (34.4%) was achieved by adding NaCl to the reaction mixture containing THF/H2O. The experimentally measured partition ratios of 5-HMF between the two liquid phases were compared to the predictions calculated by the computational method COSMO-RS, which is a quantum chemistry-based method to predict the thermodynamic equilibria of liquid mixtures and the solubilities. The COSMO-RS predicted partition ratios of 5-HMF were in line with the experimentally measured ones. Defatted algal remnant is transformed to 5-HMF and LA.![]()

Abstract
This paper presents a review of the expectations and challenges of using biomass in the prevention and slowing of paraffin wax deposition that takes place during the crude oil production process. The inhibition of the deposition process involves the use of solvents from biomass that are generally available around the crude oil production field. The processes used to scale down the precipitation of wax include mixing crude oil with the manufacturer’s solvent composed of toluene and xylene. The goal is to assess solvents sourced from biomass that are capable to slow down the wax deposition process. Wax appearance temperature is an important characteristic to evaluate the possible wax precipitation of a given fluid. Wax precipitation can be reduced by using some chemical additives, often called the pour point depressant. This additive is expected to be produced from local biomass which can compete with solvents currently produced on the market.

Abstract
Herein, Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is considered as an easy and cheap to prepare alternative catalyst for the isomerization of glucose and production of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF). For the synthesis of the ZIF-8 catalysts two preparation methods were evaluated, being room temperature and hydrothermal synthesis at 140 °C. Of these, the hydrothermal synthesis method yields a material with exceptionally high surface area (1967 m2·g−1). As a catalyst, the ZIF-8 materials generated excellent fructose yields. Specifically, ZIF-8 prepared by hydrothermal synthesis yielded a fructose selectivity of 65% with a glucose conversion of 24% at 100 °C in aqueous reaction medium. However, this selectivity dropped dramatically when the reactions were repeated at higher temperatures (~140 °C). Interestingly, greater quantities of mannose were produced at higher temperatures too. The lack of strong Brønsted acidity in both ZIF-8 materials resulted in poor HMF yields. In order to improve HMF yields, reactions were performed at a lower pH of 1.0. At 140 °C the lower pH was found to drive the reaction towards HMF and double its yield. Despite the excellent performance of ZIF-8 catalysts in batch reactions, their activity did not translate well to the flow reactor over a continuous run of 8 h, which was operating with a residence time of 6 min. The activity of ZIF-8 halved in the flow reactor at 100 °C in ~3 h, which implies that the catalyst’s stability was not maintained in the long run.

Abstract
A flexible approach to a two-step Biorefinery for the production of glucose and furfural from three different feedstocks is presented. Pretreatment conditions were selected to drive the production towards the generation of glucose or furfural. Harsh pretreatment conditions produced solids with highly accessible glycan contents for the enzymatic hydrolysis with 100% glucose yields when wheat straw or poplar chips were used as feedstock. Mild conditions afforded xylan-rich hydrolysates that could be efficiently transformed to furfural, either under conventional or microwave heating in biphasic media. Yields for the transformation of xylan from feedstocks ranged between 45% and 90% depending on the feedstock, the thermal pretreatment and the cyclodehydration conditions. Up to 12.6 kg of glucose and materials and 2.5 kg of furfural can be produced starting from 50 kg of biomass. A new analytical methodology based on 13C NMR that provided good quality analytical results is also presented.
