Unraveling Structural and Acidic Properties of Al-SBA-15-supported Metal Phosphates: Assessment for Glucose Dehydration. Chempluschem 2023; 88:e202300326.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) synthesized through glucose conversion requires Lewis acid (L) site for isomerization and Brønsted acid (B) site for dehydration. The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of the metal type of Al-SBA-15-supported phosphates of Cr, Zr, Nb, Sr, and Sn on glucose conversion to 5-HMF in a NaCl-H2 O/n-butanol biphasic solvent system. The structural and acid property of all supported metal phosphate samples were fully verified by several spectroscopic methods. Among those catalysts, CrPO/Al-SBA-15 provided the best performance with the highest glucose conversion and 5-HMF yield, corresponding to the highest total acidity of 0.65 mmol/g and optimal L/B ratio of 1.88. For CrPO/Al-SBA-15, another critical parameter is the phosphate-to-chromium ratio. Moreover, DFT simulation of glucose conversion to 5-HMF on the surface of the optimized chromium phosphate structure reveals three steps of fructose dehydration on the Brønsted acid site. Finally, the optimum reaction condition, reusability, and leaching test of the best catalyst were determined. CrPO/Al-SBA-15 is a promising catalyst for glucose conversion to high-value-added chemicals in future biorefinery production.

The key role of pretreatment for the one-step and multi-step conversions of European lignocellulosic materials into furan compounds. RSC Adv 2023; 13:21395-21420. [PMID: 37469965 PMCID: PMC10352963 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra01533e] [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: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Nowadays, an increased interest from the chemical industry towards the furanic compounds production, renewable molecules alternatives to fossil molecules, which can be transformed into a wide range of chemicals and biopolymers. These molecules are produced following hexose and pentose dehydration. In this context, lignocellulosic biomass, owing to its richness in carbohydrates, notably cellulose and hemicellulose, can be the starting material for monosaccharide supply to be converted into bio-based products. Nevertheless, processing biomass is essential to overcome the recalcitrance of biomass, cellulose crystallinity, and lignin crosslinked structure. The previous reports describe only the furanic compound production from monosaccharides, without considering the starting raw material from which they would be extracted, and without paying attention to raw material pretreatment for the furan production pathway, nor the mass balance of the whole process. Taking account of these shortcomings, this review focuses, firstly, on the conversion potential of different European abundant lignocellulosic matrices into 5-hydroxymethyl furfural and 2-furfural based on their chemical composition. The second line of discussion is focused on the many technological approaches reported so far for the conversion of feedstocks into furan intermediates for polymer technology but highlighting those adopting the minimum possible steps and with the lowest possible environmental impact. The focus of this review is to providing an updated discussion of the important issues relevant to bringing chemically furan derivatives into a market context within a green European context.

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
CONTEXT Isomerization processes between glucose and fructose catalyzed by four different organic ligands are investigated with quantum chemistry methods in this study. These organic ligands are the carboxylic pendant group, sulfonic pendant group, amino pendant group, and 1H-imidazole ligand. After guessing and verifying a variety of elementary reactions, transition states and energy barriers that are relevant to the optimum pathways have been confirmed. The effective barriers under the catalysis of the carboxylic pendant group, sulfonic pendant group, amino pendant group, and 1H-imidazole ligand are 97.5 kJ mol-1, 134.7 kJ mol-1, 146.7 kJ mol-1, and 167.7 kJ mol-1, respectively. Then, based on the conclusions of the non-solvation model, the effective barriers in solvents are briefly investigated. The implicit model predicts that solvents bring little improvement or setback to catalyzed reaction models. The explicit model shows that the proton transfer with the participant of water molecules can improve the catalytic performance of Lewis bases in these reactions. The detailed reaction mechanism combing and reliable reaction templates provided in this work will be useful for catalysis designs for glucose transformation to fructose. METHODS This work used the computational level of ωB97M-D3BJ/def2-SVP and the software package of ORCA 4.2. For solvent effects, energies of the gas phase were corrected by the combination of C-PCM and SMD.

Abstract
High-effective synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from carbohydrates is an interesting reaction among biomass valorization. The as-synthesized Ti-SBA-15 catalysts with mesoporous structures showed high catalytic efficiency for the conversion of fructose to HMF. Ti-SBA-15 catalysts with different Si/Ti ratios were characterized by characterization techniques such as elemental analysis, XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption, NH3-TPD, and pyridine-FTIR. The acidity of Ti-SBA-15 catalysts could be tuned by altering addition amount of titanium. The effects of reaction conditions, including reaction time, temperature, and amount of catalyst, on the conversions of fructose and the yields of HMF were also investigated. It is found that Ti-SBA-15 catalysts whose Si/Ti ratio is 120 gave the best yields of HMF, which demonstrated 100% conversion of fructose with a maximum HMF yield of 82% at 140°C after 1 h. In addition, its catalytic performance was retained after 5 recycles in fructose conversion reaction, proving its good catalytic stability.
