Li, Yan published the artcileSustainable and rapid production of biofuel γ-valerolactone from biomass-derived levulinate enabled by a fluoride-ionic liquid, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is biofuel valerolactone biomass derived levulinate fluoride ionic liquid.

γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is a versatile biomass-derived mol. for both value-added chems. and biofuels, which is typically prepared from levulinates over metal particles or oxides in the presence of hydrogen, formic acid or alc. Herein, we reported a rapid and mild approach for cascade hydrogenation-cyclization of Et levulinate (EL) to GVL in the presence of readily available ionic liquid tetrabutylammonium fluoride ([TBA]F) and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as catalyst and hydrogen source, resp. After reacting at room temperature for 30 min, a high GVL yield of 85% with TOF value of 52 h-1 could be obtained over 3 mol% [TBA]F. In addition to optimizing reaction parameters, the catalytic mechanism was also elucidated for the one-pot sequential transformation of EL to GVL.

Chithra, P. A. published the artcileCatalytic conversion of HMF into ethyl levulinate – A biofuel over hierarchical zeolites, Computed Properties of 539-88-8, the main research area is hydroxymethyl furfuraldehyde conversion ethyl levulinate biofuel zeolite catalyst.

Catalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuraldehyde (HMF, a biomass-derived platform chem.) into Et levulinate (EL) is an attractive approach for producing renewable transport fuels for mitigating global warming. The application is reported of hierarchical zeolites (DZSM-5 and MZSM-5 synthesized by desilication and mesoporous templating approaches, resp.) as solid acid catalysts for this transformation. Hierarchical structure of these zeolites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen-physisorption and electron microscopy, and acidity was determined by temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia. The HMF conversion of 94.2% with EL selectivity of 90.8% was achieved over the MZSM-5 catalyst. Acidity, pore size, and surface properties affected the catalytic activity.

di Bitonto, Luigi published the artcileDirect Lewis-Bronsted acid ethanolysis of sewage sludge for production of liquid fuels, Safety of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is liquid fuel sewage sludge ethanolysis catalytic wastewater treatment.

Ethanolysis carried out under Lewis-Bronsted acid catalysis was investigated as a possible process to valorize the organic fraction of urban sewage sludge, with the aim of selectively obtaining liquid biofuels. In a single reactive step, the conversion of lipids into fatty acid Et esters, of carbohydrates into Et levulinate, furanic compounds and Et glycosides and of proteins into Et ester of amino acids was achieved. The optimization of reactive conditions was conducted using pure chems. as model compounds The effect of the co-presence of water was also considered. Then, real samples of sewage sludge (as dried and wet centrifuged samples) were reacted in ethanol in the presence of the appropriate combination of homogeneous Lewis-Bronsted acid catalysts, namely 1%wt aluminum chloride hexahydrate and sulfuric acid respect to ethanol. After 6 h at 453 K, 99% of lipids and almost 60% of initial complex sugars were effectively converted into the abovementioned target products. Conversions and yields were quite similar to those obtained by reacting pure compounds singularly, confirming the robustness of the process and its applicability to differently composed sludge. At the end of the reaction, products were easily recovered and purified from the alc. phase, whereas only a very limited amount of solids remain as inert materials. Final refined biofuels have high calorific values (37 and 40 MJ kg-1) and actually represent the 68.5 and 59.2% of the initial energy content of starting sludge, resp. This strategy combines valorization of the starting organic fraction of sewage sludge and a considerable reduction of final solid waste (in a stabilized form) to be disposed of. Finally, through a preliminary feasibility study, this acid ethanolysis resulted in a competitive alternative to the anaerobic digestion of mixed sewage sludge to obtain biofuels.

Heda, Jidnyasa published the artcileEfficient Synergetic Combination of H-USY and SnO2 for Direct Conversion of Glucose into Ethyl Levulinate (Biofuel Additive), SDS of cas: 539-88-8, the main research area is Lewis acidity catalyst glucose conversion Et levulinate preparation.

Et levulinate (EL), a biofuel additive for petroleum and biodiesel can also be used as a 100% fuel to replace petroleum diesel with the existing diesel engine. The major problem to make the EL process economical is the lack of a proper conversion technol. to convert C6 sugars such as glucose with higher yield of EL as well as process which can tolerate higher glucose concentration to increase productivity. The present study highlighted the catalytic synthesis of EL from glucose over synergetic combination of zeolite H-USY and Lewis acidic catalysts such as Sn-beta, TiO2, ZrO2, and SnO2. Because of the strong Lewis acidic nature and the subsequent enhancement in the isomerization rate from glucosides to fructosides, the synergetic combination of H-USY with SnO2 showed higher EL yield than the combination with other Lewis acidic catalysts. So far, the highest EL yield of 81% from glucose (50 g/L) at 180 °C in 3 h was achieved over the optimal combination of 95% H-USY and 5% SnO2 having strong/weak acidity and B/L ratios of 1.30 and 0.75, resp. The study was further extended for establishing the proposed reaction mechanism without the formation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, levulinic acid, and formic acid which makes the overall process clean and green.

Ghahremani, Milad published the artcileA Theoretical Analysis on a Multi-Bed Pervaporation Membrane Reactor during Levulinic Acid Esterification Using the Computational Fluid Dynamic Method, SDS of cas: 539-88-8, the main research area is multi bed pervaporation membrane reactor levulinic acid esterification; computational fluid dynamic method; computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method; esterification process; modeling and simulation; pervaporation membrane reactor.

Pervaporation is a peculiar membrane separation process, which is considered for integration with a variety of reactions in promising new applications. Pervaporation membrane reactors have some specific uses in sustainable chem., such as the esterification processes. This theor. study based on the computational fluid dynamics method aims to evaluate the performance of a multi-bed pervaporation membrane reactor (including poly (vinyl alc.) membrane) to produce Et levulinate as a significant fuel additive, coming from the esterification of levulinic acid. For comparison, an equivalent multi-bed traditional reactor is also studied at the same operating conditions of the aforementioned pervaporation membrane reactor. A computational fluid dynamics model was developed and validated by exptl. literature data. The effects of reaction temperature, catalyst loading, feed molar ratio, and feed flow rate on the reactor’s performance in terms of levulinic acid conversion and water removal were hence studied. The simulations indicated that the multi-bed pervaporation membrane reactor results to be the best solution over the multi-bed traditional reactor, presenting the best simulation results at 343 K, 2 bar, catalyst loading 8.6 g, feed flow rate 7 mm3/s, and feed molar ratio 3 with levulinic acid conversion equal to 95.3% and 91.1% water removal.

He, Yunfei published the artcileSulfated complex metal oxides solid acids with dual Bronsted-Lewis acidic property for production of 5-ethoxymethylfurfural from biomass-derived carbohydrates, Computed Properties of 539-88-8, the main research area is sulfated metal oxide production ethoxymethylfurfural biomass derived carbohydrate.

The transformation of aldose-based carbohydrates into 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) is very challenging as compared to ketose-based carbohydrates, but the formers are more abundant and cheaper. Here, a series of sulfated complex metal oxides was synthesized for the conversion of aldose-based mono-, di-, and poly-saccharides, as well as starchy food waste into EMF. The catalysts were carefully characterized and the results showed that the type and strength of the acid sites were more important than their concentration It was also shown that the efficiency of these catalysts was significantly affected by the metal species in the catalyst composition and followed the order tetra- > tri- > bi- > mono-component metal oxides based catalyst. Among the prepared catalysts, Zr-Sn-Fe-Al-O-S exhibited superior catalytic activity, with an EMF yield of 33.1% from glucose, and yields ranging from 4.1-26.3% for di-, poly-saccharides and starchy food waste in ethanol/dimethyl sulfoxide solvent system under glucose/catalyst mass ratio of 4. The role of co-solvent in the reaction pathway was also studied. It was found that the predominant reaction pathway for EMF production was closely related to the co-solvent amount A kinetic model of glucose conversion to EMF was developed and the thermodn. anal. was performed, the main features of the exptl. observations can be described by the model. Zr-Sn-Fe-Al-O-S was reused for four runs without intermediate regeneration steps, showing a slight decay in activity. After reactivation by calcination before the fifth cycle, the catalyst recovered its activity, indicating good reusability and thermal stability.

Sun, Kai published the artcileConversion of monosaccharides into levulinic acid/esters: impacts of metal sulfate addition and the reaction medium, Synthetic Route of 539-88-8, the main research area is inorganic metal salt catalyst glucose fructose dehydration.

Inorganic salts could be used as catalysts for the effective conversion of sugars. In this study, the impacts of various metal sulfates (Na2SO4, K2SO4, MnSO4, CoSO4, NiSO4, ZnSO4, CuSO4, Fe2(SO4)3, La2(SO4)3 and Ce(SO4)2) on the conversion of glucose/fructose to levulinic acid in varied reaction media were evaluated. The sulfates themselves showed varied activity and selectivity for the conversion of the sugars to levulinic acid/esters or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), depending on the coordination with the reaction medium. K2SO4 or Na2SO4 could catalyze the production of HMF from glucose/fructose in water, while in DMSO the yield of HMF was substantially higher. In THF, nevertheless, almost no HMF was formed, while other sulfates such as NiSO4 in THF could effectively catalyze the conversion of fructose to HMF. In alcs., Fe2(SO4)3 was the most effective sulfate for the conversion of the sugars to levulinic acid/esters, and the alcs. could effectively suppress the polymerization of the sugars. The distinct catalytic performances of the sulfates in the varied reaction media originated from their different coordination or chelation with the sugars and the reaction medium.

Kurkiewicz, S. published the artcileContemporary analytical techniques reveal the secret composition of a 19th century Jerusalem Balsam, SDS of cas: 539-88-8, the main research area is vanillic acid Impatiens volatile compound.

In 1719, Antonio Menzani di Cuna from the Saint Savior monastery published an alc. extract formula made from plant and herb resins under the name Jerusalem Balsam. The Balsam gained high popularity due to its remedial benefits. At the end of the 19th century, Jerusalem Balsam produced by the hermit Johannes Treutler was found to be particularly popular. We analyzed a sample of a valuable find coming from the last decade of the 19th century, making it probably the oldest surviving Jerusalem Balsam in the world. The purpose of this work was to investigate the composition of the historical sample and to try to determine the origin of its components. This was achieved by comparing the profile of volatile compounds extracted from the balsam using HS-SPME technique with the profile characteristic for plant resins as classic ingredients of the Johannes Treutler formula. The use of two chromatog. columns of different polarity, as well as the transformation of the polar components of the sample into TMS derivatives, allowed to obtain new information on the historical composition of the Balsam. Also, it can be stated with high probability that plant resins were indeed used in the production of the Balsam as referred to in the original recipe of Johannes Treutler. We also discuss challenges in determining the original composition of the Balsam.

Shao, Yuewen published the artcileCooperation between hydrogenation and acidic sites in Cu-based catalyst for selective conversion of furfural to γ-valerolactone, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is copper catalyst furfural gamma valerolactone cooperation hydrogenation.

The production of γ-valerolactone (GVL) receives increasing attention due to its extensive applications as a promising fuel and fuel additive. In this study, the direct conversion of biomass-derived furfural to GVL with a unprecedent yield of 90.5% was achieved via consecutive hydrogenation and acid-catalyzed reactions over CuAl for hydrogenation and a co-catalyst (i.e. H-ZSM-5) for acid-catalysis in ethanol. The relative abundance of the hydrogenation sites and acidic sites determines the reaction network and the transfer of the main products from furfuryl alc. (FA) to Et levulinate (EL) or GVL, as the acidic sites, especially the Bronsted acidic sites, not only catalyze the formation of EL from FA, but also affect the hydrogenation activity of CuAl. However, the Lewis acidic sites facilitate the opening ring of FA to 1,4-pentanediol, preventing the GVL formation. The acid catalyst and hydrogenation catalyst deactivate via varied mechanisms in the conversion of furfural to GVL, which is required to be considered in the further development of the robust catalysts.
