Recent advances in catalytic conversion of biomass derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

Kinetic Modeling of Homogenous Catalytic Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid

“…Driven by the rapid depletion of nonrenewable fossil resources and environmental concerns, it is essential to utilize renewable biomass resources to replace traditional petrochemicals, which would alleviate current and future increasing energy demand . One such example involves the dehydration of biomass sugars into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) − and its subsequent selective oxidation to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) .…”

Current Advances in the Sustainable Conversion of 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic Acid

“…Aldehydes, such as HMF, are toxic molecules for living organisms; some microorganisms, like bacteria and fungi, developed detoxification mechanisms to convert toxic HMF to “non‐toxic” molecules, and this mechanism can be exploited for FDCA production. This biotransformation process has important advantages and is receiving increasing attention in recent years [101–110] . In fact, the whole‐cell catalysts are often robust, benefitting from a protective barrier, reactive substrates, endogenous cofactors, and enzymes that perpetuate catalytic pathways and inhibit by‐products [111,112] .…”

[111,112] In the last years, several microorganisms involved in HMF conversion to FDCA have been studied.…”

Complementary metal–semiconductor interactions on Ag-TiO2NT heterojunction for the efficient electrochemical reduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

“…The development and utilization of renewable biomass to substitute for the diminishing fossil resources has become a feasible means for the production of high-value-added chemicals. [1][2][3][4] As one of the important bio-based platform chemicals, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has great potential in the production of many elds, including industrial monomers, fuels, and pesticides. [5][6][7] Among many of its products, 2,5dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF), formed by the hydrogenation of the aldehyde group (CH]O) on HMF, is widely used in various important industrial polymerization processes, such as for polyethers, polyesters, and polyamides.…”
