Abstract
Nb-based catalysts supported on porous silica with different textural properties have been synthesized, characterized, and tested in the one-pot reaction of furfural to obtain valuable chemicals. The catalytic results reveal that the presence of fluoride in the synthesis, which limits the growing of the porous silica, limits diffusional problems of the porous silica, obtaining higher conversion values at shorter reaction times. On the other hand, the incorporation of NbOx species in the porous silica provides Lewis acid sites and a small proportion of Brönsted acid sites, in such a way that the main products are alkyl furfuryl ethers, which can be used as fuel additives.

[PMID: 37499219 DOI: 10.1002/cplu.202300265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
The reaction to obtain furan alcohols is one of the most important in the upgrading of furan derivates. An attractive route is the transfer hydrogenation of furfural using acidic-basic catalysts. In this work, mixed oxides derived from ternary hydrotalcites were employed to obtain furfuryl alcohol from furfural assisted by microwave irradiation. These materials were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and the CO2 temperature-programmed desorption (CO2 -TPD) analyses. The lamellar structure of hydrotalcite-type materials collapses during the calcination process, resulting in the loss of carbonate anions and hydroxyl groups, present in the interlayer space. This leads to the formation of mixed oxides that exhibit larger surface areas. Furthermore, these changes alter the basic nature of these materials, giving rise to the formation of strong basic sites. The reaction was studied using containing Co2+ and Ni2+ in their structure and was then optimized using distinct primary and secondary alcohols as hydrogen donor sources, as well as distinct temperatures and initial concentrations of furfural. The yields to furfuryl alcohol are strongly dependent on the type of Me2+ in layered oxides mainly due to higher basicity and to the donor employed in the reaction. The mixed oxide containing Co2+ showed complete conversion of furfural and higher yields to furfuryl alcohol (>95 %) at short times of reaction (<1 h).

Abstract
Zirconium is a silvery-white malleable and ductile metal at room temperature with a crustal abundance of 162 ppm. Its compounds, showing Lewis acidic behavior and high catalytic performance, have been recognized as a relatively cheap, low-toxicity, stable, green, and efficient catalysts for various important organic transformations. Commercially available inorganic zirconium chloride was widely applied as a catalyst to accelerate amination, Michael addition, and oxidation reactions. Well-designed zirconocene perfluorosulfonates can be applied in allylation, acylation, esterification, etc. N-Chelating oganozirconium complexes accelerate polymerization, hydroaminoalkylation, and CO2 fixation efficiently. In this review, the applications of both commercially available and synthesized zirconium catalysts in organic reactions in the last 5 years are highlighted. Firstly, the properties and application of zirconium and its compounds are simply introduced. After presenting the superiority of zirconium compounds, their applications as catalysts to accelerate organic transformations are classified and presented in detail. On the basis of different kinds of zirconium catalysts, organic reactions accelerated by inorganic zirconium catalysts, zirconium catalysts bearing Cp, and organozirconium catalysts without Cp are summarized, and the plausible reaction mechanisms are presented if available.

Highly Efficient Transfer Hydrogenation of Biomass-Derived Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol over Mesoporous Zr-Containing Hybrids with 5-Sulfosalicylic Acid as a Ligand. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19159221. [PMID: 35954579 PMCID: PMC9368220 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19159221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
The catalytic transfer hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural to furfuryl alcohol under mild conditions is an attractive topic in biorefinery. Herein, mesoporous Zr-containing hybrids (Zr-hybrids) with a high surface area (281.9−291.3 m2/g) and large pore volume (0.49−0.74 cm3/g) were prepared using the biomass-derived 5-sulfosalicylic acid as a ligand, and they were proven to be highly efficient for the Meerwein−Ponndorf−Verley reduction of furfural to furfuryl alcohol at 110 °C, with the highest furfuryl alcohol yield reaching up to 97.8%. Characterizations demonstrated that sulfonic and carboxyl groups in 5-sulfosalicylic acid molecules were coordinated with zirconium ions, making zirconium ions fully dispersed, thus leading to the formation of very fine zirconia particles with the diameter of <2 nm in mesoporous Zr-hybrids. The interaction between the 5-sulfosalicylic acid ligands and zirconium ions endowed mesoporous Zr-hybrids with relatively higher acid strength but lower base strength, which was beneficial for the selective reduction of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. A recycling study was performed over a certain mesoporous Zr-hybrid, namely meso-Zr-SA15, demonstrating that the yield and selectivity of furfuryl alcohol remained almost unchanged during the five consecutive reaction cycles. This study provides an optional method to prepare hybrid catalysts for biomass refining by using biomass-derived feedstock.

Abstract
Phytomining is a newly developing alternative green technology. This technology has been applied for recovering precious metals from mine tailings that are low-grade ores. In this study, effective catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to furfural alcohol was investigated using a ruthenium (Ru) bio-based catalyst, Ru@CassCat. The catalyst was prepared from Ru rich bio-ore recovered during laboratory scale phytomining as a model of mining tailing using the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta). Pre-rooted cassava cuttings were propagated and watered with Ru rich solutions for ten weeks before harvest. Harvested cassava roots were calcined to produce the bio-ore used as an in situ bio-based catalyst. The properties of the catalyst were characterized by various techniques, which include transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) theory. Characterization by FTIR, SEM and TEM revealed that RuCassCat has spherical component particles, loosely arranged around a cellulose/lignin-like matrix of the biocatalyst. It was also found that calcination strengthened the structure and texture of the support carbon matrix to distribute the Ru particles evenly. An ICP-MS analysis showed that up to 295 μg g−1 of Ru was detected in cassava roots. The variation of test conditions, namely, temperature, time, base, catalyst load, and a hydrogen source, was investigated. Optimally, a 0.00295 wt% ruthenium loading on the Ru@CassCat catalyst resulted in 100% furfural conversion with a turnover frequency of 0.0114 million per hour at 160 °C for 24 h using triethylamine as a base and formic acid as a hydrogen source. The catalyst remained active for up to three recycles, consecutively and produced furfural alcohol in high turnover numbers. Effective catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural into furfural alcohol was accomplished using a bio-based Ru catalyst, Ru@CassCat. The catalyst was successfully produced from cassava biomass grown in Ru-rich laboratory soils.![]()

Abstract
Porous SiO2 nanospheres were modified with different loadings of ZrO2 to obtain catalysts with a Si/Zr molar ratio from 2.5 to 30. These materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission and scanning electron microscopies, N2 adsorption-desorption at -196 °C, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and pyridine and 2-6-dimethylpyridine thermoprogrammed desorption. The characterization of these catalysts has revealed that a high proportion of Zr favors the formation of Lewis acid sites, which are implied in catalytic transfer hydrogenation processes, whereas the low Brönsted acidity promotes a dehydration reaction, being possible to give rise to a large variety of products from furfural through consecutive reactions, such as furfuryl alcohol, i-propyl furfuryl ether, i-propyl levulinate, and γ-valerolactone, in a range of temperature of 110-170 °C and 1-6 h of reaction.

Abstract
Carbonyl C═O bond reduction via catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) is one of the essential processes for biomass conversion to valuable chemicals and fuels. Here, we investigate the CTH of furfural to furfuryl alcohol with i-propanol on UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks using density functional theory calculations and linear scaling relations. Initially, the reaction over two defect sites presented on Zr-UiO-66, namely, dehydrated and hydrated sites, have been compared. The hydrated active site is favored over that on the dehydrated active site since the activation free energy of the rate-determining reaction step occurring on the hydrated active site is lower than that occurring on the dehydrated active site (14.9 vs 17.9 kcal/mol). The catalytic effect of exchanged tetravalent metals (Hf and Ti) on Zr-UiO-66 is also considered. We found that Hf-UiO-66 (13.5 kcal/mol) provides a lower activation energy than Zr-UiO-66 (14.9 kcal/mol) and Ti-UiO-66 (19.4 kcal/mol), which corresponds to it having a higher Lewis acidity. The organic linkers of UiO-66 MOFs play a role in stabilizing all of the species on potential energy surfaces. The linear scaling relationship also reveals the significant role of the UiO-66 active site in activating the carbonyl C═O of furfural, and strong relationships are observed between the activation free energy, the charge of the metal at the MOF active sites, and the complexation energies in reaction coordinates.

Abstract
Furans represent one of the most important classes of intermediates in the conversion of non-edible lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based chemicals and fuels. At present, bio-furan derivatives are generally obtained from cellulose and hemicellulose fractions of biomass via the acid-catalyzed dehydration of their relative C6-C5 sugars and then converted into a wide range of products. Furfural (FUR) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are surely the most used furan-based feedstocks since their chemical structure allows the preparation of various high-value-added chemicals. Among several well-established catalytic approaches, hydrogenation and oxygenation processes have been efficiently adopted for upgrading furans; however, harsh reaction conditions are generally required. In this review, we aim to discuss the conversion of biomass derived FUR and HMF through unconventional (transfer hydrogenation, photocatalytic and electrocatalytic) catalytic processes promoted by heterogeneous catalytic systems. The reaction conditions adopted, the chemical nature and the physico-chemical properties of the most employed heterogeneous systems in enhancing the catalytic activity and in driving the selectivity to desired products are presented and compared. At the same time, the latest results in the production of FUR and HMF through novel environmental friendly processes starting from lignocellulose as well as from wastes and by-products obtained in the processing of biomass are also overviewed.

Abstract
Development of a chromium (Cr)-free hydrogenation catalyst is very important to replace the existing hazardous Cr based catalyst used in the furfural hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol. Herein, we report synthesis of well-dispersed copper nanoparticles supported on hydrothermally stable magnesium doped alumina (Cu@Mg/γ-Al2O3) for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The prepared catalyst was characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Surface Area Analysis (SAA), High Resolution-Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), Temperature Programmed Reduction/Desorption (TPR/TPD) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) to understand textural properties of the catalyst. The prepared catalyst was found to be highly active and selective with 99% conversion of furfural and 94% selectivity for furfuryl alcohol under solvent free conditions at 443.15 K and 2 MPa of hydrogen pressure. It was also observed that the Cu@Mg/γ-Al2O3 catalyst is reusable (up to six runs) while maintaining its high activity and selectivity (≥94%) in the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. A catalyst for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfural alcohol in a solvent free environment.![]()

Abstract
With the depletion of fossil energy, liquid biofuels are becoming one of the effective
alternatives to replace fossil fuels. The catalytic transfer and hydrogenation of
biomass-based furanic compounds into fuels and value-added chemicals has become a
spotlight in this field. Gas hydrogen is often used as the H-donor for the hydrogenation
reactions. It is a very straightforward and simple method to implement, but sometimes it
comes with the danger of operation and the difficulty of regulation. In recent years, diverse
liquid hydrogen donor reagents have been employed in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation
(CTH) of biomass. Amongst those H-donors, alcohol is a kind of green and benign
reagent that has been used in different biomass conversion reactions. This type of
reagent is very convenient to use, and the involved operation process is safe, as compared
to that of H2. In this review, the application of alcohols as liquid H-donors in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation
of biomass-derived furanic compounds is depicted, and the representative reaction mechanisms are discussed.
Emphasis is also laid on the selective control of product distribution in the described catalytic systems.

Abstract
Furfural has been considered as one of the most promising platform molecules directly derived from biomass. The hydrogenation of furfural is one of the most versatile reactions to upgrade furanic components to biofuels. For instance, it can lead to plenty of downstream products, such as (tetrahydro)furfuryl alcohol, 2-methyl(tetrahydro)furan, lactones, levulinates, cyclopentanone(l), or diols, etc. The aim of this review is to discuss recent advances in the catalytic hydrogenation of furfural towards (tetrahydro)furfuryl alcohol and 2-methyl(tetrahydro)furan in terms of different non-noble metal and noble metal catalytic systems. Reaction mechanisms that are related to the different catalytic materials and reaction conditions are properly discussed. Selective hydrogenation of furfural could be modified not only by varying the types of catalyst (nature of metal, support, and preparation method) and reaction conditions, but also by altering the reaction regime, namely from batch to continuous flow. In any case, furfural catalytic hydrogenation is an open research line, which represents an attractive option for biomass valorization towards valuable chemicals and fuels.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation of furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) is challenging because of many side reactions. The highly selective hydrogenation of FAL to FOL can be achieved over a Pt catalyst supported on nanoporous SiC–C composites even at room temperature in water. A Pt/SiC–C-200-H2 catalyst, which had a Pt loading of 3 wt% and was reduced in flowing hydrogen at 500 °C after calcination in air at 200 °C for 2 h, furnished complete FAL conversion and over 99% selectivity to FOL at 25 °C under 1 MPa of hydrogen in water. The kinetic behaviour of the selective hydrogenation of FAL to FOL with the 3 wt% Pt/SiC–C-200-H2 catalyst was also investigated and the turnover frequency (TOF) reached 1148 h−1. Moreover, the Pt/SiC–C catalyst is more active than other Pt catalysts supported on ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3, activated carbon, periodic mesoporous silica SBA-15 or Al2O3. Detailed characterization using XRD, N2-sorption, SEM, TEM and XPS techniques reveals that the striking performance of the Pt/SiC–C catalyst can be attributed to the optimal metal-support interaction and the interfacial effect. A Pt/SiC–C catalyst was proved to be active, selective and reusable for furfural hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol at room temperature in neat water.![]()
