“…The decreasing of e ciency on cellulose-to-HMF process with the increasing of H 2 O/THF volume ratio was ascribed to the decrease of V org /V aque , the decrease of concentration of Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 in aqueous phase and the increase of concentration of Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 and content of H 2 O in organic phase(Yang et al, 2017). As shown in Table1, with the increase of H 2 O/THF volume ratio from 4/18 to 8/14valerolactone (GVL)(Shen et al, 2020). In Shen's work, 20% of NaCl (based on the mass of added water) was added into the reaction mixture to prevent the inter-miscible of H 2 O and GVL.…”

“…The biphasic solvent systems consisting of water, O-contained organic solvents and inorganic salts could extract the formed HMF from aqueous phase into organic phase to protect its further degradation, and have been proved to be promising on large scale production of HMF. Especially, the H 2 O-THF consisted biphasic system is frequently employed as reaction media for conversion of cellulose with impressive HMF yields (Cao et al, 2019;Jing et al, 2018;Shen et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2012). Compared with other O-contained organic solvents, the boiling point of THF was only 66 ℃, so THF could be easily separated with products for recycling (Li et al, 2020).…”

“…Yang et al reported that AlCl 3 could catalyze the conversion of cellulose in H 2 O-NaCl/THF biphasic system to yield 37% of HMF (Yang et al, 2012). Shen et al reported that Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 could catalyze the conversion of cellulose in H 2 O-NaCl/GVL biphasic system to produce HMF with high yield of 43.5% (Shen et al, 2020).

“…Besides, THF can be synthesized from biomass-based derivatives, such as furfural and 1,4-butanediol (Lange & Wadman, 2020), thus is a promising renewable and green solvent. Because the THF is miscible with H 2 O, NaCl is often added into THF-H 2 O mixture for promoting solvent partitioning into two phases, with the aqueous phase saturated by 20%-35% of NaCl (Jing et al, 2018;Shen et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2012). It should be mentioned that the high concentration of NaCl solvents could also cause corrosion.…”

“…Despite some reported heterogeneous catalysts have showed the ability to e ciently catalyze the conversion of cellulose with impressive HMF yield, the high cost for the catalyst preparation, the complicated catalyst preparation process and the longish reaction time for the heterogeneous catalysis process still hampered their industrial application in HMF production. Compared with the solid catalysts, the acidic salts possess several appealing advantages such as commercial availability, easy handling, inexpensiveness, and environmental benignity, and previous literatures have reported that satisfactory HMF yields could be achieved from cellulose with some acidic salts (Li et al, 2018b;Shen et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2012 (Shen et al, 2020). Previously, we reported that NaHSO 4 -ZnSO 4 could convert the cellulose in H 2 O-THF consisted biphasic system to yield 53% of HMF (Shi et al, 2013).…”

A simple and efficient biphasic system consisting of H2O, tetrahydrofuran (THF), cyclohexane (CHX) and Al2(SO4)3 was employed to convert cellulose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with high yield of 71.2%. The real volumes of organic phase (Vorg) and aqueous phase (Vaque) of the biphasic system at reaction temperature were measured to found out that over 80% of the added H2O was dissolved into the organic phase at reaction temperature, leading to high Vorg/Vaque (over 44/1) and high concentration of Al2(SO4)3 (over 0.34 g/mL) in aqueous phase. The high concentration of Al2(SO4)3 in aqueous phase could efficiently catalyze the conversion of cellulose into HMF, while the high Vorg/Vaque could protect the formed HMF from rehydration, all of which are responsible for the high efficiency of the system on conversion of cellulose into HMF. The addition of CHX into reaction mixture could decrease the solubility of Al2(SO4)3 and H2O in the organic phase, which could improve the stability of HMF in the reaction system, resulting higher yield of HMF from cellulose. Because of the high Vorg/Vaque of the reaction system, one microemulsion-like system and liquid film catalytic model are proposed for the cellulose-to-HMF process.

The catalytic conversion of lignocellulose‐derived carbohydrates, particularly cellulose, into 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), holds significant potential as a crucial step in the sustainable production of valuable platform chemicals. This review presents the remarkable progress made in the field, with a specific emphasis on the role of heterogeneous catalysts, innovative methods for accelerating cellulose hydrolysis, and the design of flow reactor technologies. The distinctive properties and surface functionalities of catalysts facilitate the efficient breakdown of cellulose's intricate structure, thereby promoting selective hydrolysis leading to HMF formation. Therefore, this review comprehensively examines various categories of heterogeneous catalysts, including metal oxides/phosphates, zeolites, functionalized silica/carbon‐based materials, heteropolyacids (HPAs), and metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), highlighting their unique mechanisms and performance in cellulose conversion. Furthermore, the review describes the intriguing progress in hydrolysis strategies (pretreatment techniques and advanced heating systems) that have been crucially involved in overcoming the challenges associated with cellulose recalcitrance and achieving enhanced HMF yields. The synergistic interactions between catalysts and innovative hydrolysis methods have played a central role in the breakthroughs within cellulose conversion technology. Another aspect covered in this work is the advancement in using fixed‐/fluidized‐bed reactors and slug microreactors for the continuous production of HMF. Lastly, the current challenges and future perspectives are presented to propose the dilemma and development direction for efficient cellulose‐to‐HMF conversion.

Biomass is an attractive raw material for the production of fuel oil and chemical intermediates due to its abundant reserves, low price, easy biodegradability, and renewable use. Hydroxymethylfurfural (5‐HMF) is a valuable platform chemical derived from biomass that has gained significant research interest owing to its economic and environmental benefits. In this review, we examine recent advances in biomass catalytic conversion systems for 5‐HMF production, with a focus on the catalysts selection and feedstocks’ impact on the 5‐HMF selectivity and yield. Specifically, we evaluate the potential of zeolite‐based catalysts for efficient biomass catalysis, given their unique pore structure and tunable (Lewis and Brønsted) acidity. We summarize and assess the benefits of hierarchical modifications and the interactions between porosity and acidity in zeolites, which are critical factors for the development of green catalytic systems to convert biomass to 5‐HMF efficiently. Our review suggests that Zeolite‐based catalysts hold significant promise in facilitating the sustainable utilization of biomass resources.
