The aim of this review is to discuss the most relevant chemical routes for converting furfural chemicals and biofuels additives.
This review is aimed to be a brief tutorial covering the deactivation of solid catalysts in liquid phase, with specific focus on leaching, which can especially helpful researchers not familiarized catalytic processes phase.
Two series of Fe−Ce catalysts were prepared following two different methods: coprecipitation from Fe and Ce nitrate solutions physical mixing pure precursors. Evidence the presence a chemical interaction between was found in calcined state coprecipitated catalysts. Such evidence obtained with techniques. The occurs through formation hematite-like cubic ceria-like solid solutions. In solution, cations are dissolved hematite structure, whereas solution ceria structure. interactions absent...
Furfural can be converted into maleic anhydride (73 % yield) through selective gas phase oxidation at 593 K with O(2) by using VO(x)/Al(2)O(3) (10 at(V) nm(-2)) as solid catalysts. The use of lower temperatures and/or pressures result in the additional formation furan (maximum 9 yield). Mechanistically, furfural (C(5)H(4)O(2)) is oxidized stepwise to (C(4)H(4)O), 2-furanone (C(4)H(4)O(2)), and finally, (C(4)H(2)O(3)). specific structure supported vanadium oxides reaction conditions...
This investigation explores the selective liquid-phase oxidation of furfural to maleic acid (MA) using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant and titanium silicalite (TS-1) a catalyst. The effect temperature concentration H2O2, catalyst on MA yield was studied. highest yield, 78 mol%, obtained under following reaction conditions: 4.6 wt% furfural, catalyst, H2O2/furfural mol ratio 7.5, corresponding 12.3 323 K 24 hours reaction. To reduce amount H2O2 employed, two-step sequence reactions conducted...
This minireview gives an overview about heterogeneous catalytic technologies for the oxidation of key platform molecules (glucose, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural and levulinic acid) into valuable chemicals.
Abstract A series of silica‐based MCM‐41‐supported niobium‐oxide catalysts are prepared, characterized by using XRD, N 2 adsorption–desorption, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman and pyridine adsorption coupled to FTIR tested for the dehydration D ‐xylose furfural. Under operating conditions used all materials active in xylose furfural (excluding MCM‐41 silica support). The conversion increases with increasing Nb O 5 content. At a loading 16 wt % , 74.5 yield 36.5 is achieved at 170 °C,...
