“… 34 Therefore, a wide range of homogeneous mineral acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, and formic acid have been used for xylose conversion to furfural. 35 It is noteworthy that 60–70% of the total furfural produced globally is used for manufacturing furfuryl alcohol.…”

“…Heterogeneous catalysts may reduce the corrosion of the equipment and are relatively easy to recycle, reducing the cost. Some heterogeneous acid catalysts developed for furfural production are carbon acids, clay, oxides, zeolites, cation exchange resin, heteropoly acids and metal organic frameworks (MOF) [22,[55][56][57].…”

Efficient conversion of renewable biomass into value-added chemicals and biofuels is regarded as an alternative route to reduce our high dependence on fossil resources and the associated environmental issues. In this context, biomass-based furfural and levulinic acid (LA) platform chemicals are frequently utilized to synthesize various valuable chemicals and biofuels. In this review, the reaction mechanism and catalytic system developed for the generation of furfural and levulinic acid are summarized and compared. Special efforts are focused on the different catalytic systems for the synthesis of furfural and levulinic acid. The corresponding challenges and outlooks are also observed.

“…Furfural is a high-value furan aldehyde, with a wide range of industrial uses, especially in the production of pharmaceuticals, polymers, resins, solvents, fine chemicals, fuel additives, and biofuels [1][2][3][4]. Xylose is an encouraging feedstock for furfural synthesis because of the process simplicity and product selectivity [5,6].…”

Furfural is one of the most promising precursor chemicals with an extended range of downstream derivatives. In this work, conversion of xylose to produce furfural was performed by employing p-toluenesulfonic acid (pTSA) as a catalyst in DMSO medium at moderate temperature and atmospheric pressure. The production process was optimized based on kinetic modeling of xylose conversion to furfural alongwith simultaneous formation of humin from xylose and furfural. The synergetic effects of organic acids and Lewis acids were investigated. Results showed that the catalyst pTSA-CrCl3·6H2O was a promising combined catalyst due to the high furfural yield (53.10%) at a moderate temperature of 120 °C. Observed kinetic modeling illustrated that the condensation of furfural in the DMSO solvent medium actually could be neglected. The established model was found to be satisfactory and could be well applied for process simulation and optimization with adequate accuracy. The estimated values of activation energies for xylose dehydration, condensation of xylose, and furfural to humin were 81.80, 66.50, and 93.02 kJ/mol, respectively.
