Catalytic Transformation of Biomass Derivatives to Value‐Added Chemicals and Fuels in Continuous Flow Microreactors

Biomass as a renewable and abundantly available carbon source is a promising alternative to fossil resources for the production of chemicals and fuels. The development of biobased chemistry, along with catalyst design, has received much research attention over recent years. However, dedicated reactor concepts for the conversion of biomass and its derivatives are a relatively new research field. Continuous flow microreactors are a promising tool for process intensification, especially for reactions in multiphase systems. In this work, the potential of microreactors for the catalytic conversion of biomass derivatives to value-added chemicals and fuels is critically reviewed. Emphases are laid on the biphasic synthesis of furans from sugars, oxidation and hydrogenation of biomass derivatives. Microreactor processing has been shown capable of improving the efficiency of many biobased reactions, due to the transport intensification and a fine control over the process. Microreactors are expected to contribute in accelerating the technological development of biomass conversion and have a promising potential for industrial application in this area.

“…Furthermore, the lower consumption of chemicals and solvents in such systems results in both economic and ecological benefits. [27][28][29][30][31] Typically, the analytical characterization is performed offline with traditional analytical equipment. As analysis then becomes the bottleneck in terms of process time [32,33] , such an approach only partially addresses the challenges discussed above.…”

An Integrated Lab‐on‐a‐chip Approach to Study Heterogeneous Enantioselective Catalysts at the Microscale

An integrated lab‐on‐a‐chip enables the rapid analysis of heterogenized enantioselective organocatalysis at the microscale. A packed‐bed microreactor was seamlessly integrated with a downstream chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) functionality to study enantioselective transformations on a single microfluidic glass chip. Hyphenation to mass spectrometry allows for the rapid investigation of the selectivity and the substrate scope of microgram amounts of catalyst beads. Optimization of reaction conditions is possible with minimal reagent consumption and instant analytical feedback.
