High Conversion of Concentrated Sugars to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural over a Metal-free Carbon Catalyst: Role of Glucose-Fructose Dimers. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:40442-40455. [PMID: 37929081 PMCID: PMC10620938 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
To reduce the production cost of chemicals from renewable resources, the feedstock loading must be high and the catalyst must be of low cost and efficient. In this study, at a very short reaction time of 10 min at 125 °C, concentrated sugar solutions (20 wt %, 101 wt % on solvent) were converted to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) over a cotton gin trash (CGT)-derived sulfonated carbon catalyst in a 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF) biphasic system. We report, for the first time, that the presence of glucose either as a covalently bonded monomer in sucrose or in a mixture with fructose achieved yields of HMF up to 62 mol % compared to a value of only 39 mol % obtained with fructose on its own. In the concentrated reaction medium, glucose, fructose, and sucrose molecules produce difructose anhydrides, dimers/reversion products, and sucrose isomers. The glucose-fructose dimers formed in sucrose and glucose/fructose reaction systems play a critical role in the transformation of the sugars to a higher-than-expected HMF yield. Thus, a strategy of using cellulosic glucose, where it is partially converted to fructose content and the high sugar concentration sugar mixture is then converted to HMF, should be exploited for future biorefineries.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of biomass provides an alternative way for the production of organic acids from renewable feedstocks. The emerging process contains complex reactions and strategies to cut down those complex biogenic materials into target molecules. Here, we review the catalytic conversion of cellulosic biomass toward high-valued organic acids. This work has summarized the key controlling reactions which lead toward formic acid, glycolic acid, or sugar acids in oxidative conditions and the main pathways for lactic acid or levulinic acid in the anaerobic environment from cellulosic biomass and its derivatives. We evaluate and compare different strategies and methods such as one-pot and two-step conversion. Additionally, the optimization of catalytic reactions has been discussed to realize the design of C-C coupling reactions, the development of multifunctional materials, and new efficient system. In all, this article gives an insight guide to precisely convert cellulosic biomass into target organic acids.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:31263-31272. [PMID: 37901855 PMCID: PMC10603823 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra05071h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the exchange affinity of Fe3+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ cations in sulfuric acid-purified montmorillonite (S-MMT) to enhance Lewis acid sites and subsequently improve the catalytic conversion of glucose to lactic acid. XRD analysis suggested the successful cation exchange process, leading to structural expansion of the resultant cation exchanged-MMTs (CE-MMTs). XRF and TGA indicated that Zn2+ had the highest exchange affinity, followed by Cu2+ and then Fe3+. This finding was further supported by the results of TPD-NH3 analysis and pyridine-adsorption test, which demonstrated that Zn-MMT had the highest total acid sites (TAS) and the ratio of Lewis acid-to-Brønsted acid surface site (LA/BA). These results indicated dominant presence of Lewis acid sites in Zn-MMT due to the higher amount of exchanged Zn2+ cations. Consistently, time-dependent catalytic studies conducted at 170 °C showed that a 7 h-reaction generated the highest lactic acid yield, with the catalytic performance increasing in the order of Fe-MMT < Cu-MMT < Zn-MMT. The study also observed the impact of adding alcohols as co-solvents with water at various ratios on the conversion of glucose to lactic acid catalysed by Zn-MMT. The addition of ethanol enhanced lactic acid yield, while methanol and propanol inhibited lactic acid formation. Notably, a water-to-ethanol ratio of 30 : 70 v/v% emerged as the optimal solvent condition, resulting in ca. 35 wt% higher lactic acid yield compared to using water alone. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the cation exchange affinity of different cations in MMT catalysts and their relevance to the conversion of glucose to lactic acid. Furthermore, the incorporation of alcohol co-solvent presents a promising way of enhancing the catalytic activity of CE-MMTs.

Abstract
The catalytic transformation of sugars into lactic acid has shown great potential for the scalable utilization of renewable biomass. Herein, RuOx/MoS2 catalysts were synthesized with the assistance of CaO for the one-pot conversion of glucose to lactic acid. Under the reaction conditions of 120 °C and 1MPa O2, a 96.6% glucose conversion and a 54.3% lactic acid yield were realized in the one-pot catalytic reaction, with relatively high stability after four successive cycles. This catalytic system was also effective for the conversion of many other carbohydrate substrates, such as fructose, xylose and cellulose (selectivity 68.9%, 78.2% and 50.6%, respectively). According to catalyst characterizations and conditional experiments, the highly dispersed RuOx species on the surface of MoS2, together with OH−, promoted isomerization, retro-aldol condensation, dehydration and hydration reactions, resulting in a relatively high lactic acid yield for sugar conversions.

Abstract
The development of inexpensive and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of biomass including food and winery processing waste to value-added products is crucial in biorefinery. Glucose could be obtained via the hydrolysis of waste cellulose or starch-rich material, and the isomerization of glucose to fructose using either Lewis acid or Brønsted base catalysts is an important route in biorefinery. As a natural clay mineral, bentonite (Bt) is widely used as adsorption material and catalyst support, but how its intrinsic acid-base properties can impact the biomass conversion chemistry is still rarely reported. In this study, we investigated the influence of the textural and acid-base properties of Bt on the glucose isomerization reaction. The reaction kinetics and mechanism, and the effect of Al3+-exchange were explored. The results showed that the activation energy of Bt-catalyzed glucose conversion was 59.0 kJ mol-1, and the in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) characterization proved that Brønsted base was responsible for the isomerization. The highest fructose yield of 39.2% with 86.3% selectivity could be obtained at 110 °C for 60 min in water. Alkaline rinse and calcination can recover most of the catalytic activity of the spent catalyst.

Abstract
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of macroalgae residue was accomplished with seven kinds of amine catalysts for chemical and bio-oil production. The effect of HTL conditions on product distribution was investigated, and results showed that both temperature and amines concentration have significant effects on conversion of macroalgae residue to liquid products and bio-oil. The effect of different amines on composition of liquid products and bio-oil was also studied. The main ingredient of liquid products were organic acids, and the yield of organic acids declined with the increase of alkyl chain in amines. The yield of bio-oil increased with the addition of alkyl chain for primary amines and tertiary amines, while decreased for secondary amines. Methylamine had the highest yield of liquid products of 79.09wt%, and the highest bio-oil yield of 24.37wt% was obtained in the presence of triethylamine.

Abstract
The novelties in this paper are embodied in the fast interfacial charge transfer in α-Fe2O3−δCδ/FeVO4−x+δCx−δ@C bulk heterojunctions with controllable phase compositions. The carbon source-glucose plays an important role as the connecting bridge between the micelles in the solution, forming interfacial C-O, C-O-Fe and O-Fe-C bonds through dehydration and polymerization reactions. Then the extra VO3− around the FeVO4 colloidal particles can react with unstable Fe(OH)3, resulting the phase transformation from α-Fe2O3 (47.99–7.16%) into FeVO4 (52.01–92.84%), promoting photocarriers’ generation capacities. After final carbonization, a part of C atoms enter into lattices of α-Fe2O3 and FeVO4, forming impurity levels and oxygen vacancies to increase effective light absorptions. Another part of C sources turn into interfacial carbon layers to bring fast charge transfer by decreasing the charge transition resistance (from 53.15 kΩ into 8.29 kΩ) and the surface recombination rate (from 64.07% into 7.59%). The results show that the bulk heterojunction with 90.29% FeVO4 and 9.71% α-Fe2O3 shows ideal light absorption, carriers’ transfer efficiency and available photocatalytic property. In general, the synergistic effect of optimized heterojunction structure, carbon replacing and the interface carbon layers are critical to develop great potential in stable and recoverable use.
