Abstract
The catalytic performance of the Ag/TiO2 catalyst was evaluated in the oxidation of furfural (FF) to furoic acid (FA) in an alkaline aqueous solution under 15 bar of air in a batch reactor. The catalytic activity, yield, and stability of the catalyst were compared as a function of different reaction parameters including temperature (25–110 °C), nature of the atmosphere, base equivalent (nbase/nFF = 0.25–3), and nature of the inorganic bases used (NaOH, NaHCO3, and Na2CO3). Under optimum conditions, the yield of FA (96%) was achieved at room temperature, with an excellent carbon balance (>98%). The recyclability of the catalyst was also studied and the catalytic activity of the Ag/TiO2 catalyst slightly declined due to an increase in particle size as confirmed by TEM studies.

Abstract
The development of the future French and European bioeconomies will involve developing new green chemical processes in which catalytic transformations are key. The VAALBIO team (valorization of alkanes and biomass) of the UCCS laboratory (Unité de Catalyse et Chimie du Solide) are working on various catalytic processes, either developing new catalysts and/or designing the whole catalytic processes. Our research is focused on both the fundamental and applied aspects of the processes. Through this review paper, we demonstrate the main topics developed by our team focusing mostly on oxygen- and hydrogen-related processes as well as on green hydrogen production and hybrid catalysis. The social impacts of the bioeconomy are also discussed applying the concept of the institutional compass.

One-Pot Synthesis of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid from 2-Furoic Acid by a Pd-catalyzed Bromination-Hydroxycarbonylation Tandem Reaction in Acetate Buffer. Chemistry 2022; 11:e202100301.

Abstract
The one‐pot synthesis of 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid from 2‐furoic acid with a yield of 57 % was achieved for the first time using a Pd‐catalyzed bromination‐hydroxycarbonylation tandem reaction in HOAc‐NaOAc buffer. This synthetic protocol shows major improvements compared to previously reported methods, such as using biomass‐based 2‐furoic acid as low‐cost raw material, one‐pot synthesis without isolation of intermediate products, and no need for an acidification procedure. Experiments indicate that the involved Xantphos‐modified Pd‐catalyst and the buffer solution play significant promoting roles for each individual reaction whereas Br2 (as the brominating reagent) had a negative effect on the second hydroxycarbonylation step, while CO was deleterious for the first bromination step. Hence, in this practical one‐pot synthesis, Br2 should be consumed in the first bromination step as fully as possible, and CO is introduced after the first bromination step has been completed.

The Use of CO2 in the Production of Bioplastics for an Even Greener Chemistry. SUSTAINABILITY 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/su132011278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
The high life expectancy of the world population provokes increase in demand for food and energy. As a result, the intense industrialization and the application of fossil sources is responsible for high levels of CO2 emission and waste generation. To mitigate the CO2 emission a practical solution at the very short term is urgently needed. The capture of CO2 and its application in chemical processes for the valorization of residual biomass are of great importance nowadays. The application of CO2 in the selective carboxylation of furoic acid for the production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a bio-based monomer, has been an important step towards obtaining biopolymers to replace petroleum-based plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In this project report, we discuss on the current challenges for obtaining the 2,5-FDCA precursor from the furfural in two main routes involving oxidation and carboxylation via heterogeneous catalysis. We present the main objectives and discuss the importance of this research for the development of more sustainable processes.
