The need to reduce the accumulation of CO(2) into atmosphere requires new technologies able emission. utilization as a building block may represent an interesting approach synthetic methodologies less intensive in carbon and energy. In this paper general properties dioxide its interaction with metal centres is first considered. potential raw material synthesis chemicals such carboxylates, carbonates, carbamates then discussed. source for fuels or other C(1) molecules formic acid methanol...
Abstract CO 2 is considered to play a key role in an eventual climate change, due its accumulation the atmosphere. The control of emission represents challenging task that requires new ideas and technologies. use perennial energy sources renewable fuels instead fossil conversion into useful products are receiving increased attention. utilization as raw material for synthesis chemicals area which scientists industrialists much involved: implementation such technology on large scale would...
Mixed oxides based on MgO⋅CeO2 were used as efficient catalysts in the aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to afford, with very high selectivity, either 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF, 99 %) or 2-formyl-5-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA, 90 %), depending reaction conditions. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic (HMFCA, 57-90 was formed only at low concentration 5-HMF (<0.03 m) presence external bases. The conversion ranged from a few percent %, according performed water, O2 oxidant, without...
Rocking chair enzyme: Chemical reducing agents (sodium dithionite) or bioglycerol (as H and e−-donor under irradiation in the presence of ZnS-A as photocatalyst) are able to back-convert NADP+ into NADPH, which is used enzymatic reduction CO2 CH3OH. In doing so, molar ratio CH3OH/CO2 has been increased (without recycling NADP+) using photocatalyst.
Abstract A simple, cheap, and selective catalyst based on copper/cerium oxides is described for the oxidation of 5‐(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5‐HMF) in water. An almost quantitative conversion (99 %) with excellent (90 selectivity towards formation 5‐formyl‐2‐furancarboxylic acid, a platform molecule other high value chemicals, observed. The does not require any pretreatment or additives, such as bases, to obtain yield water solvent using oxygen oxidant. When physical mixture used, low are Air...
The selective oxidation of 5-HMF towards 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been achieved with 99% yield in water, using oxygen as the oxidant over CuO·MnO<sub>2</sub>·CeO<sub>2</sub>mixed oxides.
Hydrogen Economy and Cyclic are advocated, together with the use of perennial (solar, wind, hydro, geo-power, SWHG) renewable (biomass) energy sources, for defossilizing anthropic activities mitigating climate change. Each option has intrinsic limits that prevent a stand-alone success in reaching target. Humans have recycled goods (metals, water, paper, now plastics) to different extent since very long time. Recycling carbon (which is already performed at industrial level form CO2...
