Optimization of Production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from Glucose in a Water: Acetone Biphasic System
نویسندگان
چکیده
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is considered to be an important building block for biorefineries and has a high potential for the production of chemicals and fuels. Production of HMF from glucose was studied using phosphoric acid as catalyst, in a water:acetone system with volume ratio of 1:2 and NaCl. An experimental design was applied to examine the influence of temperature, time and concentration of catalyst on the HMF yield. HMF yields of more than 50 % were obtained when using 200 °C, 8.4 min and 0.8% of catalyst. The temperature is the main factor influencing the HMF yield.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is an important bio-sourced intermediate, 17 formed from carbohydrates such as glucose or fructose. The treatment at 150–250 °C of 18 glucose or fructose in pure water and batch conditions, with catalytic amounts of most of 19 the usual acid-basic solid catalysts, gave limited yields in 5-HMF, due mainly to the fast 20 formation of soluble oligomers. Niobic acid,...
