“…Therefore, in this study, we propose to clarify some mechanistic aspects for the selective oxidation of p ‐cymene with O 2 in the presence of a Mn–Fe mixed‐oxide heterogeneous catalyst. This catalyst was chosen because Mn 2+ ions are one of the main components of the industrial catalyst for the oxidation of p ‐xylene to TA and because the incorporation of Fe 3+ ions in manganese oxide enhances its redox properties . The role of Mn in Co/Fe/O spinel‐type oxides as an electron/O 2− ion carrier in the chemical‐loop reforming of ethanol was also recently investigated, and Mn affects the redox properties of the spinel…”

The synthesis of terephthalic acid from biomass remains an unsolved challenge. In this study, we conducted the selective oxidation of p-cymene (synthesized from biodegradable terpenes, limonene, or eucalyptol) into terephthalic acid over a Mn-Fe mixed-oxide heterogeneous catalyst. The impact of various process parameters (oxidant, temperature, reaction time, catalyst amount, oxygen pressure) on the selectivity to terephthalic acid was evaluated, and some mechanistic aspects were elucidated. An unprecedented synthesis of biobased terephthalic acid (51 % yield) in the presence of O is reported.

“…7 Among the studied heterogeneous catalysts are noteworthy those based on noble metals such as Pt, 8,9 Au, 10,11 and Ru. 12 However, it should be underlined that in most of the reported reaction procedures a base additive, essentially NaOH, KOH or Na 2 CO 3 , is required, [13][14][15] so only very few works applying base-free catalysts have been reported.…”

Direct catalytic effect of nitrogen functional groups exposed on graphenic materials when acting cooperatively with Ru nanoparticles

A number of inorganic carbonaceous materials (activated carbon, high surface area graphite and graphenic materials) have been used as supports of Ru nanoparticles in order to determine their catalytic properties in the base-free aqueous-phase oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). In particular, we have studied in detail reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide (NrGO), which are the support materials that produce more selective ruthenium catalysts. Also the effects of different metal precursors used in the preparation of the Ru nanocrystallites have been evaluated. Both support materials and Ru catalysts were characterized by elemental analysis, nitrogen physisorption (BET), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The point of zero charge (PZC) for the graphenic materials was also determined. Interestingly the different supports significantly modify the catalytic performances, the graphenic materials being those that under our experimental reaction conditions produce the highest selectivity to FDCA. On these supports (rGO and NrGO) the highest HMF conversion was achieved by using triruthenium dodecacarbonyl as the ruthenium precursor. For the improved catalyst, Ru supported on NrGO, the yield of FDCA becomes close to 80%. This catalyst has been reused several times with neither loss of activity nor modification in selectivity values. Characterization data indicate these catalytic results can be correlated to the basic properties of the NrGO support as well as to the surface properties of Ru nanoparticles. These findings indicated that the metal precursor and the surface functional groups exposed on the support can modulate the catalytic properties, in particular amending the selectivity towards FDCA production.

Inexpensive but Highly Efficient Co–Mn Mixed‐Oxide Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic Acid

A highly active and inexpensive Co-Mn mixed-oxide catalyst was prepared and used for selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Co-Mn mixed-oxide catalysts with different Co/Mn molar ratios were prepared through a simple solid-state grinding method-a low-cost and green catalyst preparation method. The activity of these catalysts was evaluated for selective aerobic oxidation of HMF into FDCA in water. Excellent HMF conversion (99 %) and FDCA yield (95 % ) were obtained under the best reaction conditions (i.e., 120 °C, 5 h, Co-Mn mixed-oxide catalyst with a Co/Mn molar ratio of 0.25 calcined at 300 °C (Co-Mn-0.25) and 1 MPa O ). The catalyst could be reused five times without a significant decrease in activity. The results demonstrated that the catalytic activity and selectivity of the Co-Mn mixed-oxide catalysts prepared through solid-state grinding were superior to the same Co-Mn catalyst prepared through a conventional coprecipitation method. The high catalytic activity of the Co-Mn-0.25 catalyst was attributed to its high lattice oxygen mobility and the presence of different valence states of manganese. The high activity and low cost of the Co-Mn mixed-oxide catalysts prepared by solid-state grinding make it promising for industrial application for the manufacturing of polyethylene furanoate, a bioreplacement for polyethylene terephthalate, from sustainable bioresources.
