摘要:
Disclosed is a process for making HMF′ or a derivative of HMF by dehydrating one or more hexose sugars in a reduced oxygen environment, in another, related aspect, a method for improving the stability and resistance to degradation of an HMF product Involves adding one or more antioxidants to the HMF product.
摘要:
A process to produce an aqueous solution of carbohydrates that contains C6-sugar-containing oligomers, C6 sugar monomers, C5-sugar-containing oligomers, C5 sugar monomers, or any combination thereof is presented. The process includes the steps of reacting biomass or a biomass-derived reactant with a solvent system including a lactone and water, and an acid catalyst. The reaction yields a product mixture containing water-soluble C6-sugar-containing oligomers, C6-sugar monomers, C5-sugar-containing oligomers, C5-sugar monomers, or any combination thereof. A solute is added to the product mixture to cause partitioning of the product mixture into an aqueous layer containing the carbohydrates and a substantially immiscible organic layer containing the lactone.

A process for the production of furan derivatives from carbohydrates in the presence of an acidic catalyst, characterized in that N-methylpyrrolidone is used as a solvent and that the acidic catalyst is homogeneous.

The disclosure provides the use of aryl or heteroaryl boronic acid in the preparation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)fufural (HMF) from saccharides. The aryl or heteroaryl boronic bearing electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl or heteroaryl ring of the boronic acid provided good yields. The disclosure provides a method for preparing HMF from saccharides in the presence of aryl or heteroaryl boronic acid. The disclosure provides a method for converting a saccharide other than fructose in fructose via a dehydrogenation reaction catalyzed by aryl or heteroaryl boronic acid.
摘要:
Furfural is produced by contacting a feedstock solution containing C5 sugar and/or C6 sugar with a solid acid catalyst using reactive distillation. Both high yield and high conversion are obtained, without production of insoluble char in the reaction vessel. Degradation of furfural is minimized by its low residence time in contact with the solid acid catalyst. Higher catalyst lifetime can be achieved because the catalyst is continually washed with the refluxing aqueous solution and not sitting in high-boiling byproducts like humins, which are known to be deleterious to catalyst lifetime.

Provided herein is a method for producing 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF) from maize syrup containing fructose including a conversion step in which a reaction product containing the 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural is produced by mixing and heating the maize syrup, a dioxane solvent and a solid acid catalyst, thus providing an advantage that the solvent can be easily isolated and the isolated solvent can be reused because dioxane is used as the solvent, and an advantage that the catalyst can be easily isolated and the isolated catalyst can be easily reused because a nonuniform solid acid catalyst is used.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a furan-based compound using an ion exchange resin in the presence of an organic solvent. In the method for producing a furan-based compound according to the present invention, a furan-based compound is made from an aldose-type hexose compound in the presence of an organic solvent by using an anion exchange resin and a cation exchange resin. Thus, the aldose-type hexose compound obtained from biomass by simultaneously or consecutively using the anion/cation exchange resins as catalysts can be made into 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF) or alkyl ether derivatives thereof such as 5-alkoxymethyl-2-furfural (AMF) without using an expensive reagent. Also, since the selection of an organic solvent is not limitative and a heterogeneous catalyst can be used, separation and purification is easy and chemically stable AMF can be directly obtained. Further, the conversion efficiency of the aldose-type hexose compound is excellent, and the hexose compound can be used at a high concentration.
摘要:
A process for production of C5 and C6 sugar enriched syrups from lignocellulosic biomass and fermentation products therefrom is described. A lignocellulosic biomass is treated with a C1-C2 acid (e.g., acetic acid) with washing thereof with a C1-C2 acid miscible organic solvent, (e.g., ethyl acetate). A soluble hemicellulose and lignin enriched fraction is obtained separately from a cellulose pulp enriched fraction and lignin is removed from the soluble hemicellulose fraction. These fractions contain acylated (e.g., acetylated) cellulose and hemicellulose, which are deacylated by treatment with an alkali and/or with an acetyl esterase enzyme. The deacylated fractions are then digested with suitable cellulolytic and/or hemicellulolytic enzymes, preferably in the presence of non-ionic detergent to yield the C5 and C6 enriched syrups. Also described are method of fermentation of the syrups to make ethanol to at least 7% w/vol by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) or simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation (SSF) methods.

Disclosed is a method of preparing a petroleum-alternative bio fuel material such as 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF), 5-alkoxymethyl-2-furfural, levulinic acid alkil ester, etc. through a single process without saccharification, using a catalyst conversion reaction, from galactan that can be massively supplied at low costs and extracted from macroalgae of marine reusable resources.Thus, the macroalgae of the marine biomass resources is used so that a carbon source can be more easily extracted than that of a lignocellulosic biomass resource without a problem of having an effect on grain price like a crop-based biomass.
