5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural and its Downstream Chemicals: A . . . This review highlights the research progress on efficient catalytic systems for HMF synthesis, oxidation, reduction, and etherification Additionally, it outlines the techno-economic analysis (TEA) and prospective research directions for the production of furan-based chemicals
Copper-Based Electrocatalysts: Using Corrosion for Efficient . . . Researchers at NIMTE have turned metal corrosion into a tool for efficient biomass upgrading, achieving high HMF-to-BHMF conversion rates with a CoCuMW CF electrode Their findings offer a low-cost, sustainable solution for bio-based chemical production
Degradation effect on oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2 . . . In an industrial process, HMF may be stored with KOH solution for a long period, leading to its degradation into humic substances as well as Cannizzaro products This degradation can result in a reduction in FDCA yield and Faradaic efficiency
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) Production from Real Biomasses Solvent extraction could reduce xylan degradation, lower chars, and improved xylan mass balance In fact, simultaneous extraction into a solvent immiscible in water can enhance HMF yields by removing it from the aqueous environment where the yield would otherwise be limited by its rapid degradation to chars and humins
Hydroxymethylfurfural - Wikipedia Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), also known as 5- (hydroxymethyl)furfural, is an organic compound formed by the dehydration of reducing sugars [4][5] It is a white low-melting solid (although commercial samples are often yellow) which is highly soluble in both water and organic solvents
Stabilization of alkaline 5-HMF electrolytes via Cannizzaro . . . In this study, we demonstrate that alkaline degradation of HMF yielded 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA) and dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF), which are both stable in alkaline media, and both of which can be electrooxidized to FDCA
Biofuels-related materials deterioration in biorefineries . . . Biofuels, like any high-affinity chemical mixtures; can cause tribological effects at interfaces with metallics (ferrous-nonferrous) and non-metallics due to medium assisted activation of corrosion by unsaturated components The damages; corrosion and tribological effects on surfaces (abrasive
