Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing dialkylfurans, such as 2,5-dimethylfuran, and other alkyl furans, such as 2-methylfuran. For example, 2,5-dimethylfuran may be produced by hydrogenation of (5-methylfuran-2-yl) methanol or 2-(chloromethyl)-5-methylfuran in the presence of a solid supported metal catalyst having an excess of either basic or acidic sites (as determined by chemisorption of CO2 or NH3). The process could further include a urea reagent (TMU, DMPU, TMI) and an alkyl benzene.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing polymers from furan and optionally diol compounds, using an organocatalyst. The furan compounds may include, for example, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid or 2,5-tetrahydrofurandicarboxylic acid. Provided herein are also polymer compositions, such as poly(alkylene-2,5-furandicarboxylate). The polymer compositions herein have a low metal content.

Abstract: Provided is a method of producing activated carbon from a resin composite made up of furanic polymer. The method includes producing a resin composite from feedstock (e.g., in the presence of an acid and a salt), combining the resin composite with a base to form an impregnated material, and carbonizing the impregnated material to produce the activated carbon. Provided herein are also resin composites and activated carbon materials.
