“…These structural features in cellulose result in high mechanical strength, low water absorption, and chemical recalcitrance. 33 Even though cellulose is comparatively a tough substrate for catalytic value addition, its high abundance from nonfood sources, high productivity, low cost, and structural homogeneity (i.e., made of glucose units exclusively) make it a promising feedstock in a carbohydrate-centric biorefinery. 34 Starch is another abundant polysaccharide comprised of glucose units connected by the α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.…”

“…As food wastes do not enter into conflict with food production, they are ideal substrates for platform chemical synthesis. As starch can be easily hydrolyzed to glucose, research on the conversion of starch into the glucose derivatives 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), levulinic acid (LA), 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), among others, is an active topic . 5-HMF is a very versatile platform molecule, as it can be converted into fine chemicals, monomers, and biofuels by its reduction, oxidation, and/or esterification .…”

The synthesis of platform molecules from food wastes is a topic of interest for the development of sustainable biorefineries. Starchy food wastes can serve as feedstocks to produce fine chemicals, fuels, and polymers by the hydrolysis of starch and further conversion into platform molecules such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and 5-chloromethylfurfural (5-CMF). Conventionally, the synthesis of 5-CMF has relied on the use of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a catalyst. However, recent studies have explored alternative methods, including eutectic solvents containing metal chlorides, which have facilitated 5-CMF production. This study presents a novel approach to synthesizing 5-CMF from starch using eutectic solvents without the need for either HCl or metal chloride additives. The synthesis was conducted using a low transition temperature mixture of choline chloride, citric acid, and boric acid in a biphasic system with dichloromethane as the extracting solvent. The synthesis was optimized using the response surface methodology through a Box−Behnken design. At 100 °C and 90 min of reaction time, up to 17 mol % 5-HMF and 13 mol % 5-CMF were produced, and in the optimized conditions of 120 °C and 135 min, up to 33 mol % 5-CMF with less than 1 mol % 5-HMF was obtained from starch. Moreover, it was shown that the low transition temperature mixture used in this study could be reused at least five times.

“…As a result, alcohols can be used as a suitable and versatile solvent for a cost-effective separation procedure in the production of MF. 16,17 Liquid−liquid extraction (LLE) was proposed as an interesting option for investigating the performance of alcohols in MF production. Da Silva and Aznar 18 employed this method to investigate the separation and extraction of 2,5-dimethylfuran (furan compound).…”

“…Regarding alcohols for the production of furan compounds, Román-Leshkov et al claimed that the energy required to evaporate the stream containing 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and 1-butanol is approximately one-third of the energy required to evaporate an aqueous solution of ethanol. As a result, alcohols can be used as a suitable and versatile solvent for a cost-effective separation procedure in the production of MF. , …”

Purification requirements for 2-methylfuran (MF), a new furan biofuel, have increased the demand for experimental liquid−liquid equilibrium (LLE) data and the identification of the appropriate solvents to improve the production process. Thus, this work measured LLE data for 2-methylfuran (MF) + alcohols (1butanol/1-pentanol/1-hexanol/1-heptanol) + water systems at 298.15 and 313.15 K. The high MF-1-butanol selectivity demonstrated that water can be used in the MF purification process. The overall rootmeansquare errors (RMSEs) between the experimental data measured and calculated by NRTL (nonrandom two liquids) and COSMO-SAC (conductor-like screening modelsegment activity coefficient) models were less than 0.56 and 1.21%, respectively, showing quite good agreement with measured tie-line data. Note that the COSMO-SAC model predicts LLE data without using any experimental data and can provide initial estimates for the MF process design. Finally, the binary interaction parameters obtained for the NRTL model were validated by topological analysis using a graphical user interface (GUI).
