Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of a mixture of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and glucose from a feedstock containing fructose in the presence of at least one polar aprotic solvent and of at least one dehydration catalyst, in which process the reaction temperature is less than 90° C.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel process for converting a feedstock comprising at least one sugar into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, wherein said feedstock is brought into contact with one or more organic dehydration catalysts and one or more chloride sources in the presence of at least one aprotic polar solvent alone or as a mixture, at a temperature of between 30° C. and 200° C., and at a pressure of between 0.1 MPa and 10 MPa.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the metathesis of olefins implemented with a catalyst comprising a mesoporous matrix and at least the elements molybdenum and silicon, said elements being incorporated into said matrix by means of at least one precursor comprising molybdenum and silicon and having at least one sequence of Si—O—Mo bonds.
Abstract:
A process for the transformation of a feed of at least one sugar into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, contacting the feed with one or more organic catalysts in the presence of at least one solvent, said solvent being water or an organic solvent, alone or as a mixture, at a temperature in the range 30° C. to 200° C., and at a pressure in the range 0.1 MPa to 10 MPa, in which said organic catalysts are selected from compounds from the thiourea family with general formula R1NH—C(═S)—NHR2, in which the groups R1 and R2 are aromatic groups optionally having a heteroatom, linear or branched alkyl groups, which may or may not be cyclic, and alkyl groups with at least one heteroatom, which may be linear or branched, which may or may not be cyclic, said groups R1 and R2 possibly being substituted or unsubstituted and which may be identical or different.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the metathesis of olefins implemented with a catalyst comprising a mesoporous matrix and at least the elements molybdenum and aluminium, said elements being incorporated into said matrix by means of at least two precursors of which at least one precursor contains molybdenum and at least one precursor contains aluminium.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for transformation of lignocellulosic biomass or cellulose using in a simultaneous manner an original combination of at least two homogeneous catalysts and one or more heterogeneous catalyst(s). The use of these catalysts makes it possible to obtain mono-oxidized or poly-oxidized upgradable products directly and to limit the formation of non-upgradable products. Non-upgradable products are defined as soluble and non-soluble humins, i.e., products of high molecular weight obtained from undesirable condensation reactions of sugars and their derivatives.
Abstract:
Process for transformation of a feedstock of lignocellulosic biomass and/or the carbohydrates, into mono-oxidized or poly-oxidized compounds, wherein the feedstock is contacted, simultaneously, with a catalytic system that comprises one or more homogeneous catalysts selected from Brønsted acids and heterogeneous catalysts comprising at least one metal selected from groups 6 to 11 and 14 of the periodic table, and a substrate selected from perovskites of formula ABO3, in which A is Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and La, and B is selected from Fe, Mn, Ti and Zr, oxides of lanthanum, neodymium, yttrium, cerium, and niobium, or mixtures thereof, and mixed oxides of aluminates of zinc, copper, and cobalt, or mixtures thereof, in the same reaction chamber, with at least one solvent, being water or water with at least one other solvent, under reducing atmosphere, and temperature of 50° C. to 300° C., and pressure of 0.5 MPa to 20 MPa.
