RESUMO

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) represents a well-known class of lignocellulosic biomass-derived platform molecules. With the presence of many reactive functional groups in the structure, this versatile building block could be valorized into many value-added products. Among well-established catalytic transformations in biorefinery, the reductive amination is of particular interest to provide valuable N-containing compounds. Specifically, the reductive amination of 5-HMF with ammonia (NH3 ) and molecular hydrogen (H2 ) offers a straightforward and sustainable access to primary furanic amines [i. e., 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuryl amine (HMFA) and 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAMF)], which display far-reaching utilities in pharmaceutical, chemical, and polymer industries. In the presence of heterogeneous catalysts contanining monometals (Ni, Co, Ru, Pd, Pt, and Rh) or bimetals (Ni-Cu and Ni-Mn), this elegant pathway enables a high-yielding and chemoselective production of HMFA/BAMF compared to other synthetic routes. This Review aims to present an up-to-date highlight on the supported metal-catalyzed reductive amination of 5-HMF with elaborate studies on the role of metal, solid support, and reaction parameters. Besides, the recyclability/adaptability of catalysts as well as the reaction mechanism are also provided to give valuable insights into this potential 5-HMF valorization strategy.

RESUMO

The formic acid (CH2O2) decomposition over sulfated zirconia (SZ) catalysts prepared under different synthesis conditions, such as calcination temperature (500-650 °C) and sulfate loading (0-20 wt.%), was investigated. Three sulfate species (tridentate, bridging bidentate, and pyrosulfate) on the SZ catalysts were characterized by using temperature-programmed decomposition (TPDE), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The acidic properties of the SZ catalysts were investigated by the temperature-programmed desorption of iso-propanol (IPA-TPD) and pyridine-adsorbed infrared (Py-IR) spectroscopy and correlated with their catalytic properties in formic acid decomposition. The relative contributions of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites to the formic acid dehydration were compared, and optimal synthetic conditions, such as calcination temperature and sulfate loading, were proposed.

RESUMO

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Young-Woong Suh at Hanyang University, Republic of Korea. The cover picture depicts the conceptual design of plastic manufacture starting from 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF) generated from raw biomass (rice straw in the picture). The processing is to hydrolyze the CMF to 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) in aqueous medium, followed by catalytic hydrogenation into 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF). The BHMF can be used as a monomer for plastics including polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and polyesters. More information can be found in the Research Article by Y.-W. Suh and co-workers.

RESUMO

5-(Chloromethyl)furfural (CMF) is cheaper than sugars, because it can be obtained from biomass waste. Herein, the stepwise conversion of CMF to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) via 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) was demonstrated for the first time. The purified CMF was hydrolyzed in continuous mode followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (EA), resulting in a HMF yield of 70 mol%. The following factors were assessed during continuous hydrogenation of the produced HMF: the presence of EA in the reaction solvent, HMF concentrations of up to 10 wt% in the feed, the mass production of mesoporous Cu-Al2 O3 (meso-CuA-kg), the shaping of meso-CuA-kg into cylindrical pellets, and the setup of the catalytic reactor. Through these efforts, the hydrogenation of HMF over meso-CuA-kg could be sustained for 100 h under the above optimized conditions, affording BHMF in 98 % yield. The approach described in this study can greatly contribute to the value-added transformation of CMF into HMF and BHMF.

RESUMO

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), one of the most important platform molecules in biorefinery, can be directly obtained from a vast diversity of biomass materials. Owing to the reactive functional groups (-CHO and -CH2 OH) in the structure, this versatile building block undertakes several transformations to provide a wealth of high value-added products. Among numerous well-established paradigms, the catalytic hydrogenation of 5-HMF towards 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (BHMTHF) is of great interest because this downstream diol can be exploited in a wide range of industrial applications. Not surprisingly, incessant endeavors from both academia and industry to upgrade this catalytic process have been established over the years. The main aim of this Review was to provide a comprehensive overview on the development of heterogeneous metal catalysts for the 5-HMF-to-BHMTHF transformation. Herein, the rational design and utility of hydrogenating catalysts were elaborated in many aspects including metal types (Ni, Co, Pd, Ru, Pt, and bimetals), solid supports, preparation method, recyclability, operating conditions, and reaction regime (batch and continuous flow). In addition, the assessment of cooperative catalysts to convert carbohydrates into BHMTHF under one-pot cascade, tentative mechanism, as well as prospects and challenges for the chemo-selective hydrogenation of 5-HMF were also highlighted.

RESUMO

Efficient catalytic ring-opening coupled with hydrogenation is a promising but challenging reaction for producing adipic acid (AA) from 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA). In this study, AA synthesis is carried out in two steps from FDCA via tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (THFDCA) over a recyclable Ru/Al2 O3 and an ionic liquid, [MIM(CH2 )4 SO3 H]I (MIM=methylimidazolium) to deliver 99 % overall yield of AA. Ru/Al2 O3 is found to be an efficient catalyst for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of FDCA to deliver THFDCA and 2-hydroxyadipic acid (HAA), respectively, where ruthenium is more economically viable than well-known palladium or rhodium hydrogenation catalysts. H2 chemisorption shows that the alumina phase strongly affects the interaction between Ru nanoparticles (NPs) and supports, resulting in materials with high dispersion and small size of Ru NPs, which in turn are responsible for the high conversion of FDCA. An ionic liquid system, [MIM(CH2 )4 SO3 H]I is applied to the hydrogenolysis of THFDCA for AA production. The [MIM(CH2 )4 SO3 H]I exhibits superior activity, enables simple product isolation with high purity, and reduces the severe corrosion problems caused by the conventional hydroiodic acid catalytic system.

RESUMO

The liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) 2-(N-methylbenzyl)pyridine (MBP) shows good potential for H2 storage based on reversible hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, with an H2 storage density of 6.15 wt %. This material and the corresponding perhydro product (H12 -MBP) are liquids at room temperature. Remarkably, H2 release is much faster from H12 -MBP over Pd/C than from the benchmark perhydro benzyltoluene over Pt/C at lower temperatures than 270 °C, owing to the addition of N atom into the benzene ring. Since this positive effect is unfavorable to the hydrogenation reaction, more Ru/Al2 O3 catalyst or prolonged reaction time must be applied for complete H2 storage. Experiments with repeated hydrogenation-dehydrogenation cycles reveal that reversible H2 storage and release are possible without degradation of the MBP/H12 -MBP pair. The prepared MBP satisfies the requirements for chemical stability, handling properties, and cytotoxicity testing.

RESUMO

Among lithium alloy metals, silicon is an attractive candidate to replace commercial graphite anode because silicon possesses about ten times higher theoretical energy density than graphite. However, electrically nonconducting silicon undergoes a large volume changes during lithiation/delithiation reactions, which causes fast loss of storage capacity upon cycling due to electrode pulverization. To alleviate these problems, electrodes comprising Si nanoparticles (20 nm) and graphene platelets, denoted as SiGP-1 (Si = 35.5 wt%) and SiGP-2 (Si = 57.6 wt%), have been prepared with low cost materials and using easily scalable solution-dispersion methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analyses indicated that Si nanoparticles were highly dispersed and encapsulated between graphene sheets that stacked into platelets in which portions of graphite phases were reconstituted. From the galvanostatic cycling test, SiGP-1 exhibited a reversible lithiation capacity of approximately 802 mAh/g with excellent capacity retention up to 30 cycles at 100 mA/g. Further cycling with a step-increase of current density (100-1,000 mA/g) up to 120 cycles revealed that it has an appreciable power capability as well, showing 520 mAh/g at 1,000 mA/g with capacity loss of 0.2-0.3% per cycle. The improved electrochemical performance is attributed to the robust electrical integrity provided by flexible graphene sheets that encapsulated dispersed Si nanopraticles and stacked into platelets with portions of reconstituted graphite phases in their structure.

RESUMO

The pyrolysis of two brown macroalgae (Undaria pinnatifida and Laminaria japonica) and one red macroalgae (Porphyra tenera) was investigated for the production of bio-oil within the temperature range of 300-600°C. Macroalgae differ from lignocellulosic land biomass in their constitutional compounds and high N, S and ash contents. The maximum production of bio-oil was achieved at 500°C, with yields between 37.5 and 47.4 wt.%. The main compounds in bio-oils vary between macroalgae and are greatly different from those of land biomass, especially in the presence of many nitrogen-containing compounds. Of the gaseous products, CO(2) was dominant, while C(1)-C(4) hydrocarbons gradually increasing at 400°C and above. The pretreatment of macroalgae by acid washing effectively reduced the ash content. The pyrolysis of macroalgae offers a new opportunity for feedstock production; however, the utilization of bio-oil as a fuel product needs further assessment.

RESUMO

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was engineered for assembly of minicellulosomes by heterologous expression of a recombinant scaffolding protein from Clostridium cellulovorans and a chimeric endoglucanase E from Clostridium thermocellum. The chimeric endoglucanase E fused with the dockerin domain of endoglucanase B from C. cellulovorans was assembled with the recombinant scaffolding protein. The resulting strain was able to ferment amorphous cellulose [carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC)] into ethanol with the aid of beta-glucosidase 1 produced from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera. The minicellulosomes assembled in vivo retained the synergistic effect for cellulose hydrolysis. The minicellulosomes containing the cellulose-binding domain were purified by crystalline cellulose affinity in a single step. In the fermentation test at 10 g L(-1) initial CMC, approximately 3.45 g L(-1) ethanol was produced after 16 h. The yield (in grams of ethanol produced per substrate) was 0.34 g g(-1) from CMC. This result indicates that a one-step processing of cellulosic biomass in a consolidated bioprocessing configuration is technically feasible by recombinant yeast cells expressing functional minicellulosomes.

RESUMO

This study has been focused on developing a cellulose pretreatment process using 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim]Cl) for subsequent hydrolysis over Nafion(R) NR50. Thus, several pretreatment variables such as the pretreatment period and temperature, and the [bmim]Cl amount were varied. Additionally, the [bmim]Cl-treated cellulose samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, and their crystallinity index values including CI(XD), CI(XD-CI) and CI(XD-CII) were then calculated. When correlated with these values, the concentrations of total reducing sugars (TRS) obtained by the pretreatment of native cellulose (NC) and glucose produced by the hydrolysis reaction were found to show a distinct relationship with the [CI(NC)-CI(XD)] and CI(XD-CII) values, respectively. Consequently, the cellulose pretreatment step with [bmim]Cl is to loosen a crystalline cellulose through partial transformation of cellulose I to cellulose II and, furthermore, the TRS release, while the subsequent hydrolysis of [bmim]Cl-treated cellulose over Nafion(R) NR50 is effective to convert cellulose II to glucose.

RESUMO

The amount of waste furniture generated in Korea was over 2.4 million tons in the past 3 years, which can be used for renewable energy or fuel feedstock production. Fast pyrolysis is available for thermo-chemical conversion of the waste wood mostly into bio-oil. In this work, fast pyrolysis of waste furniture sawdust was investigated under various reaction conditions (pyrolysis temperature, particle size, feed rate and flow rate of fluidizing medium) in a fluidized-bed reactor. The optimal pyrolysis temperature for increased yields of bio-oil was 450 degrees C. Excessively smaller or larger feed size negatively affected the production of bio-oil. Higher flow and feeding rates were more effective for the production of bio-oil, but did not greatly affect the bio-oil yields within the tested ranges. The use of product gas as the fluidizing medium had a potential for increased bio-oil yields.

RESUMO

Heterologous secretory expression of endoglucanase E (Clostridium thermocellum) and beta-glucosidase 1 (Saccharomycopsis fibuligera) was achieved in Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation cultures as an alpha-mating factor signal peptide fusion, based on the native enzyme coding sequence. Ethanol production depends on simultaneous saccharification of cellulose to glucose and fermentation of glucose to ethanol by a recombinant yeast strain as a microbial biocatalyst. Recombinant yeast strain expressing endoglucanase and beta-glucosidase was able to produce ethanol from beta-glucan, CMC and acid swollen cellulose. This indicates that the resultant yeast strain of this study acts efficiently as a whole cell biocatalyst.

RESUMO

Binding of AuCl(4)(-) to amine groups tethered to the interior of a 2 nm siloxane nanocage was determined in solutions containing various concentrations of acid. The mode of binding was inferred from EXAFS and UV-vis spectra to be by ligand exchange of amine for chloride, which implies that the amines remain unprotonated. Cyclic voltammetry confirmed that the Au complexes bind to the nanocage interior and established a 1:1 relationship between bound Au complex and amine groups. The results suggested a 5-7 pH unit shift in the protonation constant of the interior amines relative to free amines in solution.

RESUMO

A new structure, consisting of a shell cross-linked, 2 nm size siloxane nanocage containing propylamine groups tethered to the interior face of the shell was synthesized, starting with micelles of the surfactant molecule, (triethoxysilyl)propylcetylcarbamate. After hydrolysis of the ethoxysilyl groups and condensation and capping of the silanols to form a cross-linked, one-atom-layer-thick siloxane shell, the carbamate was converted to amine, releasing the cetyl group from the structure and resulting in the desired spherical nanocage. The intermediates in the synthesis process and the final structure were characterized by 1H and 29Si NMR, DLS, TEM, and mass spectroscopy. The amine groups tethered to the interior surface of the shell react readily with ninhydrin but do not interact with the larger ZnTPP, indicating molecular size selectivity by the cross-linked shell. The structure also exhibits confinement effect in the amine-catalyzed decarboxylation of acetoacetic acid, exhibiting higher activity and higher selectivity for acetal than (aminopropyl)triethoxysilane.
