“…Carboxylic acids can also be produced via oxidation from FUR. Furoic acid (employed in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and cosmetic fields) and maleic acid (an important raw material employed in the manufacture of textiles, food additives, plasticizers, bulk‐drugs and agricultural chemicals) can be formed from FUR adding O 2 as an oxidant.…”

This Review discusses novel catalytic pathways of lignocellulosic biomass to value‐added chemicals including biomass‐derived sugar alcohols, organic acids, furans and biohydrocarbons. These production approaches are undertaken by biological, chemical and thermochemical transformations or a combination of them. Nevertheless, the majority of research in this area is focused on the design of heterogeneous catalysts to convert value‐added products from holocellulosic biomass. Biorefineries represent the peak of biomass processes in order to produce valuable chemicals and liquid fuels avoiding the utilization of corroding and toxic elements. The aim of the present Review is to offer the readers a broad overview of recent holocellulosic‐based chemical and fuels production technologies via heterogeneous catalysis. There is also an overview of the economic aspects to efficiently produce these platform chemicals at industrial scale. To summarize this Review, an outlook and conclusions of the reported processes to date is provided.

“…However, the oxidation of furfural can also lead to very interesting products, such as furoic acid, maleic acid, and succinic acid [80]. Considering that Au-based catalysts have shown great potential for the aerobic oxidation of many substrates in water, their use in the oxidation of furfural would be advantageous.…”

Abstract:The oxidation of bio-based molecules in general, and of carbohydrates and furanics in particular, is a highly attractive process. The catalytic conversion of renewable compounds is of high importance. Acids and other chemical intermediates issued from oxidation processes have many applications related, especially, to food and detergents, as well as to pharmaceutics, cosmetics, and the chemical industry. Until now, the oxidation of sugars, furfural, or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural has been mainly conducted through biochemical processes or with strong inorganic oxidants. The use of these processes very often presents many disadvantages, especially regarding products separation and selectivity control. Generally, the oxidation is performed in batch conditions using an appropriate catalyst and a basic aqueous solution (pH 7-9), while bubbling oxygen or air through the slurry. However, there is a renewed interest in working in base-free conditions to avoid the production of salts. Actually, this gives direct access to different acids or diacids without laborious product purification steps. This review focuses on processes applying gold-based catalysts, and on the catalytic properties of these systems in the base-free oxidation of important compounds: C5-C6 sugars, furfural, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. A better understanding of the chemical and physical properties of the catalysts and of the operating conditions applied in the oxidation reactions is essential. For this reason, in this review we put emphasis on these most impacting factors.

“…Although the metabolic pathways in bacterial and eukaryotic strains are the same, important differences exists between both. The yeast fermentations can be operated at lower pH , in analogy with the industrial production of fumaric and citric acid, which is an important advantage in the SA recovery process and also in the mitigation of microbial contamination risks. The metabolic flux is however different as yeast lacks pck and thus PEP is not carboxylated but only pyruvate, which generates less ATP.…”

In the last decade, succinic acid has become a key platform chemical in the bio‐based industry. It is one of the few renewable chemicals that have proven to be competitive with the fossil‐derived production. Still, improvements can be made in terms of sustainability, especially in the usage of alternative carbon sources for advanced life cycles. Numerous catalytic routes have been developed for the conversion of bio‐succinate to a wide range of chemical compounds and bio‐based polymers. However, most of them have been demonstrated from pure isolated succinic acid, but the isolation and purification of succinic acid from fermentation broths is no mean task and requires a considerable amount of energy. Therefore, catalytic routes in aqueous phase have also been studied intensively to by‐pass isolation and purification steps. This review describes the recent developments published in this research field. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
