Adi Putra, Zulfan published the artcileProcess design and techno-economic analysis of ethyl levulinate production from carbon dioxide and 1,4-butanediol as an alternative biofuel and fuel additive, Recommanded Product: Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is ethyl levulinate butanediol carbon dioxide techno economic analysis.

Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is one of the promising neg. emission technologies. Within various CCUS routes available, CO2 conversion into fuels is one of the attractive options. Currently, most of CO2 conversion into fuels requires hydrogen, which is expensive and consume large energy to produce. Hence, a different route of producing fuel from CO2 by utilizing 1,4-butanediol as the raw material is proposed and evaluated in this study. This alternative route comprises production of levulinic acid from the reaction between CO2 and 1,4-butanediol and production of Et levulinate, an alternative biofuel and biofuel additive, via an esterification reaction of levulinic acid with ethanol. The process is designed and simulated according to the available data and evaluated in terms of its tech. features. Because of the unavailability of reaction data for synthesis of levulinic acid from 1,4-butanediol and CO2, several assumptions were taken, which may implicate the accuracy of the studied design. This tech. evaluation is followed by cost estimations and sensitivity anal. Because of the free CO2, the profitability of the plant depends strongly on the prices of the other chems. and the price difference between 1,4-butanediol and Et levulinate. Monte Carlo simulation indicates that the proposed plant will always be profitable if the Et levulinate is slightly more expensive than the 1,4-butanediol.

Wu, Kai published the artcileInter-integration reactive distillation with vapor permeation for ethyl levulinate production: Modeling, process analysis and design, Related Products of esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is reactive vapor permeation distillation ethyl levulinate production modeling design.

The reactive-vapor permeation-distillation (R-VP-D) hybrid configuration is a newly designed inter-integration concept firstly proposed for the production of Et levulinate (EL) by esterification of ethanol and levulinic acid in this paper. In the R-VP-D configuration, the VP membrane module is inserted to the reaction section of the reactive distillation (RD) column, of which the product water is in-situ removed by the vapor permeation (VP) to promote the performance of esterification RD process. The proposed R-VP-D configuration is modeled by Aspen Plus V8.4 using the two-dimensional VP model built in ACM, and the inserting position of single or double VP modules is found by contrast trials, where both the conversion rate and purity of product can reach the industrial production standards As a result, the proposed novel R-VP-D configuration is feasible, with > 21.6% and 31.4% reduction in total annual cost and total duty as compared to the configuration which only applies an extra distillation column to separation and recycle the excess ethanol without azeotrope separation, and with 13.5 and 21.5% reduction in TAC and total duty as compared to the hybrid configuration where the vapor permeation is coupled outside the RD column. The result also shows the advantage of the proposed R-VP-D process for potentially leading to the development of new integration processes and applications.

Zhang, Luxin published the artcileSulfonic acid-functionalized PCP(Cr) catalysts with Cr3+ and -SO3H sites for 5-ethoxymethylfurfural production from glucose, Name: Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is porous coordination polymer catalyst ethoxymethylfurfural glucose.

5-Ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) has been identified as a potential biofuel and fuel additive, for which the production from glucose (the most abundant and inexpensive monosaccharide) in a one-step process would be highly desirable. Here, the synthesis of sulfonic acid-functionalized porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and their application as catalysts for EMF synthesis are reported. PCP(Cr)-BA (PCP material with Cr3+ ions and H2BDC-SO3H linkers) and PCP(Cr)-NA (PCP material with Cr3+ ions and H2NDC(SO3H)2 linkers) materials containing both Cr3+ sites and Bronsted-acidic -SO3H sites were prepared The morphol., pore structure, acidity, chem. composition, and thermal stability of the two functionalized PCP(Cr) catalysts were analyzed by systematic characterization. The catalysts featured a porous morphol. and dual Cr3+ and -SO3H sites, which enabled the cascade conversion of glucose to EMF. PCP(Cr)-BA exhibited higher performance than PCP(Cr)-NA with an EMF yield of 23.1% in the conversion of glucose at 140° after 22 h in an ethanol/water system. In addition, the as-prepared catalyst exhibited a high stability in the current catalytic system for EMF production from glucose with a constant catalytic activity in a four-run recycling test without an intermediate regeneration step.

Yang, Fu published the artcileFully catalytic upgrading synthesis of 5-Ethoxymethylfurfural from biomass-derived 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural over recyclable layered-niobium-molybdate solid acid, COA of Formula: C7H12O3, the main research area is niobium molybdate catalyst preparation morphol hydroxymethylfurfural etherification.

Biomass-derived resources exploited in depth toward the synthesis of high value-added chems. is very promising, but still limited by the applicable catalyst. In this paper, we report regulated robust multilayer-like polyoxometalates(niobium molybdate) specific to the catalytic synthesis of promising 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF). The present solid acid catalysts resulted from precisely-tuned compositions of Nb and Mo toward acquiring controlled bronsted acid amounts and interlayer space coupling with specific lewis acid sites are demonstrated to be the determining factors for tuning conversion and selectivity in the synthesis of EMF, resp. The characterization results indicate that the increment in Nb moiety is beneficial to produce more accessible acid sites and the enlarged interlayer space in the catalyst, thereby promoting the acid-catalyzed conversion. As a result, the full conversion(conv. 100%) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into the 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (select. >99%) by etherification with ethanol within only 60 min was realized as the record-high yield under the solvent-free condition, far outperforming several traditional catalysts. In addition, the rational 67% yield of EMF was received when using fructose as an initial reactant. Ulteriorly, the resultant catalyst inherits the superior catalytic activity in the substrate expansion experiments in the presence of different alcs. More importantly, the resulted catalyst shows durable catalytic activity without any activity-loss during the eight recycling, which reveals the huge potential industrial application prospect.

Kumari, P. Krishna published the artcileTungstophosphoric acid supported on mesoporouus niobiumoxophosphate: an efficient solid acid catalyst for etherification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural, Synthetic Route of 539-88-8, the main research area is tungstophosphoric acid supported mesoporouus niobiumoxophosphate solid acid catalyst etherification; hydroxymethylfurfural ethoxymethylfurfural catalyst niobiumoxophosphate etherification.

Tungstophosphoric (TPA) supported on mesoporouus niobiumoxophosphate (NbP) catalysts were prepared with different loadings. The synthesized materials employed as heterogeneous solid acid catalysts for selective etherification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural. Physico-chem. properties of the catalysts were obtained by different spectroscopic techniques and their results exposed that TPA was a highly dispersed state on NbP and acidity of the catalyst enhanced due to its dispersion. The higher catalytic performance can be allied to the total acidity of the catalysts with appropriate number of Bronsted-Lewis acid sites which were directed by the contact and dispersion of TPA on support. Different reaction parameters were premeditated and 25 wt% TPA/NbP catalyst exhibited highest catalytic activity with 95% of HMF conversion and 89% of EMF yield. The catalyst is reusable without noticeable turn down in catalytic performance up to five cycles. A kinetic model for etherification of HMF was also derived.

Aakko-Saksa, Paivi T. published the artcileRenewable Methanol with Ignition Improver Additive for Diesel Engines, Application of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is methanol fuel ignition improver additive diesel engine.

Reduced emissions and environmental burden from shipping are an important aim of tightening emission regulations and ambitious climate change strategy. Renewable methanol produced from biomass or from other renewable sources represents one option to face these challenges. We studied the potential of renewable methanol to offer such benefits in diesel operation in a Scania ethanol engine, which is designed for additized ethanol fuel (ED95) containing ignition improver and lubricity additives. Methanol (MD95) with several types of ignition improver and lubricity additives was studied for use in diesel engines. MD95 fuels were clean-burning, emitting even less gaseous emissions than ED95, particularly when glycerol ethoxylate was used as an ignition improver. Particle mass and number emissions originating from additives in the exptl. fuels could be reduced with an oxidation catalyst. Reduced additive dosing in the MD95 fuels was studied with the aid of fuel injection into the intake manifold. Overall, the results showed that the monofuel MD95 concept is a promising solution for smaller vessels equipped with 800-1200 kW engines.

Mohd. Hussin, Fathin Najihah Nor published the artcileTaguchi design-assisted immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase onto a ternary alginate/nanocellulose/montmorillonite composite: Physicochemical characterization, thermal stability and reusability studies, COA of Formula: C7H12O3, the main research area is Candida rugosa lipase immobilization nanocellulose; Alginate; Candida rugosa lipase; Enzyme immobilization; Montmorillonite; Nanocellulose; Taguchi optimization.

Biomass from oil palm frond leaves (OPFL) is an excellent reservoir of lignocellulosic material which full potential remains untapped. This study aimed to statistically optimize the covalent immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) onto a ternary support comprised of OPFL derived nanocellulose (NC) and montmorillonite (MMT) in alginate (ALG) (CRL-ALG/NC/MMT). The coarser topol. and the presence of characteristic spherical globules in the field emission scanning electron micrographs and at. force micrographs, resp., supported the existence of CRL on ALG/NC/MMT. In addition, amide peaks at 3478 and 1640 cm-1 in the fourier transform IR spectra affirmed that CRL was covalently bonded to ALG/NC/MMT. The optimized Taguchi Design-assisted immobilization of CRL onto ALG/NC/MMT (7 h of immobilization, 35°C, pH 5, 7 mg/mL protein loading) gave a production yield of 92.89% of Et levulinate (EL), as proven by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometric ([M] +m/z 144, C7H12O3), FTIR and NMR (CAS-539-88-8) data. A higher optimal reaction temperature (50°C) and the reusability of CRL-ALG/NC/MMT for up to 9 esterification cycles substantiated the appreciable structural rigidification of the biocatalyst by ALG/NC/MMT, which improved the catalytic activity and thermal stability of the lipase.

Lanaya, Salaheddine published the artcileSulfated Well-Defined Mesoporous Nanostructured Zirconia for Levulinic Acid Esterification, Safety of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is sulfated zirconia mesoporous nanostructure catalyst levulinic acid esterification.

Well-organized zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles forming mesoporous materials were successfully synthesized via a facile micelle-templating method using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a structure-directing template to control the nucleation/growth process and porosity. The systematic use of such a surfactant in combination with a microwave-assisted solvothermal (cyclohexane/water) reaction enabled the control of pore size in a narrow-size distribution range (3-17 nm). The effect of solvent mixture ratio on the porosity of the synthesized oxide was determined, and the controlled growth of zirconia nanoparticles was confirmed by means of powder X-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, XPS, thermogravimetric anal., and Fourier transform IR spectroscopy as well as N2 physisorption isotherm anal. Then, the as- prepared nanostructured zirconia oxides were treated with sulfuric acid to have sulfated samples. The catalytic performances of these mesoporous zirconia nanoparticles and their sulfated samples were tested for levulinic acid (LA) esterification by ethanol, with quant. conversions of LA to Et levulinate after 8 h of reaction.
