Abstract
1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is an underrated bio-based synthon, with a broad range of reactivities. It is produced for the revalorization of glycerol, a major side-product of the growing biodiesel industry. The overwhelming majority of DHA produced worldwide is intended for application as a self-tanning agent in cosmetic formulations. This review provides an overview of the discovery, physical and chemical properties of DHA, and of its industrial production routes from glycerol. Microbial fermentation is the only industrial-scaled route but advances in electrooxidation and aerobic oxidation are also reported. This review focuses on the plurality of reactivities of DHA to help chemists interested in bio-based building blocks see the potential of DHA for this application. The handling of DHA is delicate as it can undergo dimerization as well as isomerization reactions in aqueous solutions at room temperature. DHA can also be involved in further side-reactions, yielding original side-products, as well as compounds of interest. If this peculiar reactivity was harnessed, DHA could help address current sustainability challenges encountered in the synthesis of speciality polymers, ranging from biocompatible polymers to innovative polymers with cutting-edge properties and improved biodegradability.

He W, He YC, Ye J. Efficient synthesis of furfurylamine from biomass via a hybrid strategy in an EaCl:Gly–water medium. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1144787. [PMID: 37008036 PMCID: PMC10060961 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1144787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this work was to develop an efficient approach for chemoenzymatically transforming biomass to furfurylamine by bridging chemocatalysis and biocatalysis in a deep eutectic solvent of EaCl:Gly–water. Using hydroxyapatite (HAP) as support, heterogeneous catalyst SO42−/SnO2–HAP was synthesized for transforming lignocellulosic biomass into furfural using organic acid as a co-catalyst. The turnover frequency (TOF) was correlated with the pKa value of the used organic acid. Corncob was transformed by oxalic acid (pKa = 1.25) (0.4 wt%) plus SO42−/SnO2–HAP (2.0 wt%) to produce furfural with a yield of 48.2% and a TOF of 6.33 h-1 in water. In deep eutectic solvent EaCl:Gly–water (1:2, v/v), co-catalysis with SO42−/SnO2–HAP and oxalic acid was utilized to transform corncob, rice straw, reed leaf, and sugarcane bagasse for the production of furfural with the yield of 42.4%–59.3% (based on the xylan content) at 180°C after 10 min. The formed furfural could be efficiently aminated to furfurylamine with E. coli CCZU-XLS160 cells in the presence of NH4Cl (as an amine donor). As a result of the biological amination of furfural derived from corncob, rice straw, reed leaf, and sugarcane bagasse for 24 h, the yields of furfurylamine reached >99%, with a productivity of 0.31–0.43 g furfurylamine per g xylan. In EaCl:Gly–water, an efficient chemoenzymatic catalysis strategy was employed to valorize lignocellulosic biomass into valuable furan chemicals.

Abstract
The world scenario regarding consumption and demand for products based on fossil fuels has demonstrated the imperative need to develop new technologies capable of using renewable resources. In this context, the use of biomass to obtain chemical intermediates and fuels has emerged as an important area of research in recent years, since it is a renewable source of carbon in great abundance. It has the benefit of not contributing to the additional emission of greenhouse gases since the CO2 released during the energy conversion process is consumed by it through photosynthesis. In the presented review, the authors provide an update of the literature in the field of biomass transformation with the use of niobium-containing catalysts, emphasizing the versatility of niobium compounds for the conversion of different types of biomass.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, energy and environmental crises have worsened due to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising technology for sustainable biocrude production from biomass. However, elemental migration and transformation during HTL of biomass have only received scant attention to date. Understanding the transformation mechanism is beneficial for downstream biocrude upgrading and by-products utilization for the future industrialization of HTL. In this paper, biomass is grouped into six categories: microalgae, macroalgae, lignocellulose, food waste, manure, and sludge. The biochemical composition and HTL product distribution of six kinds of biomass are compared. The conversion process of the biomacromolecules (including lipids, proteins, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) and the interactions between them are also reported. Furthermore, the distribution of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and inorganic elements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, etc.) in the HTL products is summarized, and the transformation of the organic and inorganic elements during HTL of biomass is explored. Finally, outlooks for the HTL of biomass are proposed.

Abstract
Bisphenol A is an oil-derived, large market volume chemical with a wide spectrum of applications in plastics, adhesives and thermal papers. However, bisphenol A is not considered safe due to its endocrine disrupting properties and reproductive toxicity. Several functional substitutes of bisphenol A have been proposed in the literature, produced from plant biomass. Unless otherwise specified, the present review covers the most significant contributions that appeared in the time span January 2015-August 2019, describing the sustainable catalytic synthesis of rigid diols from biomass derivatives. The focus is thereupon on heterogeneous catalysis, use of green solvents and mild conditions, cascade processes in one-pot, and continuous flow setups. More than 500 up-to-date references describe the various substitutes proposed and the catalytic methods for their manufacture, broken down according to the main biomass types from which they originate.

Abstract
One of the key issues in the development of biofuels using lignocellulosic feedstocks is to increase the yield of fermented sugar, and simultaneously decrease the generation of fermentation inhibitors. Therefore, it is essential to understand the degradation mechanism of xylan during hot-water pretreatment. We analyzed the hydrothermal degradation products of xylan and xylose under different conditions. Results showed that furfural and formic acid formed from xylose reached a maximum value of 32.56 % and 35.14 %, respectively. By increasing the initial pH of the xylan solution, the furfural concentration can be reduced effectively to 2% and the formation of formic acid was preferred under alkaline conditions. On this basis, we proposed a new hydrothermal degradation pathway of xylan in alkaline solution. The in-depth understanding of xlyan degradation during hot water pre-treatment will be beneficial for improving the efficiency of biofuel production.

Abstract
The effects of K and Ca on the pyrolysis of rice straw were studied. The results showed that impregnating a certain amount of Ca is beneficial to the uniform distribution of K, and mixing a certain amount of K is also beneficial to the uniform distribution of Ca. Ca and K would combine with the silicon-aluminum compound in the sample during the pyrolysis and become invalid. Ca can effectively reduce the invalid K, but cannot completely protect K from combining with the silicon-aluminum compound. The binary metal carbonates K2Ca(CO3)2 and K2Ca2(CO3)3 were produced during the pyrolysis of the samples, which have a limited effect for the uniform distribution of the catalysts. In addition, acid-leaching removed most of the inorganic components in rice straw, which made it difficult for the catalyst to be evenly distributed, indicating that the inorganic components play an important role in evenly distributing the catalyst.

Abstract
The production of furfural from renewable sources, such as lignocellulosic biomass, has gained great interest within the concept of biorefineries. In lignocellulosic materials, xylose is the most abundant pentose, which forms the hemicellulosic part. One of the key steps in the production of furfural from biomass is the dehydration reaction of the pentoses. The objective of this work was to assess the conditions under which the concentration of furfural is maximized from a synthetic, monophasic, and homogeneous xylose medium. The experiments were carried out in a microwave reactor. FeCl3 in different proportions and sulfuric acid were used as catalysts. A two-level, three-factor experimental design was developed for this purpose. The results were further analyzed through a second experimental design and optimization was performed by response surface methodology. The best operational conditions for the highest furfural yield (57%) turned out to be 210 °C, 0.5 min, and 0.05 M FeCl3.

Abstract
The objectives of our research are to investigate the concept of delignification from pinecone through alkaline fractionation and then extraction of formic acid from the hydrolysate through esterification using ethanol. The pinecone is considered a promising material because of its relatively higher lignin content (35.80%) than other lignocellulosic biomass. The recovery yield of acid insoluble lignin (AIL) reached its maximum value of 79.20% at 8% NaOH, and the concentration of formic acid in the hydrolysate had its highest value under the same conditions. Moreover, the glucan content in fractionated solid remained high. The hydrolysate was subjected to esterification with ethanol under various reaction conditions for formic acid extraction, with solvent mixing ratio range: 1:1-1:4 v/v, reaction temperature range: 30-45 °C, and reaction time range: 60-100 min. Subsequently, the ethanol mixture (ethanol and ethyl formate) was recovered through distillation. The formic acid was extracted with more than 85% at mixing ratio of 1:2 and 45 °C for all reaction times. Furthermore, salt compounds composed mainly of Na and S were recovered because of its properties not soluble in ethanol solution.

Abstract
Abstract
The evolution from petroleum-based products to the bio-based era by using renewable resources is one of the main research challenges in the coming years. Lignocellulosic biomass, consisting of inedible plant material, has emerged as a potential alternative for the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and nanocellulose-based advanced materials. The lignocellulosic biomass, which consists mainly of carbohydrate-based polysaccharides (hemicellulose and cellulose), is a green intermediate for the synthesis of bio-based products. In recent years, the re-engineering of biomass into a variety of commodity chemicals and liquid fuels by using Lewis acid catalysts has attracted much attention. Much research has been focused on developing new chemical strategies for the valorization of different biomass components. Homogeneous Lewis acid catalysts seem to be one of the most promising catalysts due to their astonishing features such as being less corrosive to equipment and being friendlier to the environment, as well as having the ability to disrupt the bonding system effectively and having high selectivity. Thus, these catalysts have emerged as important tools for the highly selective transformation of biomass components into valuable chemicals and fuels. This review provides an insightful overview of the most important recent developments in homogeneous Lewis acid catalysis toward the production and upgrading of biomass. The chemical valorization of the main components of lignocellulosic biomass (hemicellulose and cellulose), the reaction conditions, and process mechanisms are reviewed.

Abstract
Innovative valorization of naturally abundant and renewable lignocellulosic biomass is of great importance in the pursuit of a sustainable future and biobased economy. Ionic liquids (ILs) as an important kind of green solvents and functional fluids have attracted significant attention for the catalytic transformation of lignocellulosic feedstocks into a diverse range of products. Taking advantage of some unique properties of ILs with different functions, the catalytic transformation processes can be carried out more efficiently and potentially with lower environmental impacts. Also, a new product portfolio may be derived from catalytic systems with ILs as media. This review focuses on the catalytic chemical conversion of lignocellulose and its primary ingredients (i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) into value-added chemicals and fuel products using ILs as the reaction media. An outlook is provided at the end of this review to highlight the challenges and opportunities associated with this interesting and important area.

Abstract
Biomass has been long exploited as an anthropogenic energy source; however, the 21st century challenges of energy security and climate change are driving resurgence in its utilization both as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels and as a sustainable carbon feedstock for chemicals production. Deconstruction of cellulose and hemicellulose carbohydrate polymers into their constituent C5 and C6 sugars, and subsequent heterogeneously catalyzed transformations, offer the promise of unlocking diverse oxygenates such as furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, and gluconic acid as biorefinery platform chemicals. Here, we review recent advances in the design and development of catalysts and processes for C5-C6 sugar reforming into chemical intermediates and products, and highlight the challenges of aqueous phase operation and catalyst evaluation, in addition to process considerations such as solvent and reactor selection.

Abstract
We investigate the existence of specific/nonthermal microwave effects for the dehydration reaction of xylose to furfural in the presence of NaCl. Such effects are reported for sugars dehydration reactions in several literature reports. To this end, we adopted three approaches that compare microwave-assisted experiments with a) conventional heating experiments from the literature; b) simulated conventional heating experiments using microwave-irradiated silicon carbide (SiC) vials; and at c) different power levels but the same temperature by using forced cooling. No significant differences in the reaction kinetics are observed using any of these methods. However, microwave heating still proves advantageous as it requires 30 % less forward power compared to conventional heating (SiC vial) to achieve the same furfural yield at a laboratory scale.
