The aim of this review is to discuss the most relevant chemical routes for converting furfural chemicals and biofuels additives.
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.
The production of di-acids from biomass, <italic>i.e.</italic> maleic acid (MAc), can be improved by combining the utilization GVL as co-solvent and TS-1 solid catalyst.
A simple procedure has been found that significantly promotes the transesterification reaction rate catalyzed by CaO and moreover prevents catalyst poisoning ambient CO2 H2O. The presence of a small amount biodiesel in initial methanol−triglyceride mixture (3 wt % referred to oil) results significant increase triglyceride methanolysis carried out batch reactor. must be previously mixed with activated CaO, forming paste. formation such paste also remarkable protection against H2O may occur...
