“…Esterification of free fatty acids in waste cooking oil with methanol was studied to produce biodiesel using a carbonaceous solid acid prepared by a one-step mild hydrothermal carbonisation of glucose, followed by sulfonation using hydroxyethylsulfonic acid. 196 Catalytic results revealed a strong decrease in the content of free fatty acids (up to 93.4%) in waste cooking oil. Catalyst stability was demonstrated with only a 7% decrease in free fatty acids conversion after five recycles.…”

Efficient transformation of biomass to value-added chemicals and high-energy density fuels is pivotal for a more sustainable economy and carbon-neutral society. In this framework, developing potential cascade chemical processes using functionalised heterogeneous catalysts is essential because of their versatile roles towards viable biomass valorisation. Advances in materials science and catalysis have provided several innovative strategies for the design of new appealing catalytic materials with well-defined structures and special characteristics. Promising catalytic materials that have paved the way for exciting scientific breakthroughs in biomass upgrading are carbon materials, metal-organic frameworks, solid phase ionic liquids, and magnetic iron oxides. These fascinating catalysts offer unique possibilities to accommodate adequate amounts of acid-base and redox functional species, hence enabling various biomass conversion reactions in a one-pot way. This review therefore aims to provide a comprehensive account of the most significant advances in the development of functionalised heterogeneous catalysts for efficient biomass upgrading. In addition, this review highlights important progress ensued in tailoring the immobilisation of desirable functional groups on particular sites of the above-listed materials, while critically discussing the role of consequent properties on cascade reactions as well as on other vital processes within the bio-refinery. Current challenges and future opportunities towards a rational design of novel functionalised heterogeneous catalysts for sustainable biomass valorisation are also emphasized.

BACKGROUND: Mesoporous double-layer carbon microspheres (DCSs) were synthesized using hollow tin(IV) oxide (SnO 2 ) microspheres as hard template and sucrose as carbon precursor via the hydrothermal method. Sulfonic acid groups (-SO 3 H) were introduced onto the surfaces of DCS by sulfuric acid heating and sulfanilic acid diazonium coupling, respectively, to form two solid acids (DCS-SS and DCS-DS, respectively). RESULTS: The transmission electron microscopy images showed that the carbon microspheres possessed a hollow double-layerstructure with diameters of about 200 to 300 nm and shell thickness of about 30 to 50 nm. Furthermore, the sulfonate treatments caused no changes in the morphology of carbon microspheres. The nitrogen (N 2 )-Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) results indicate that DCS, DCS-SS, and DCS-DS featured mesopores with an average pore size of 4.5 to 4.8 nm and BET surface areas of 75 m 2 /g, 57 m 2 /g, and 53 m 2 /g, respectively. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared results confirmed that the DCS-SS and DCS-DS contained a -SO 3 H group and their surface acid densities are 4.5 and 4.1 mmol/g, respectively.CONCLUSION: DCS-SS and DCS-DS were used to catalyze the transesterification of waste frying oil, and the highest yields of fatty acid methyl esters, that is, 85% and 80%, respectively, could be obtained. CONCLUSIONThe sulfonated mesoporous DCS (DCS-SS and DCS-DS) were successfully prepared. DCS-SS and DCS-DS possessed average pore sizes of 4.1 to 4.5 nm, BET surface area of 53 to 57 m 2 /g, J Chem Technol Biotechnol 2019; 94: [3538][3539][3540][3541][3542][3543][3544][3545][3546][3547]

“…The catalyst retained 93% of its catalytic activity following fifty successive uses demonstrating excellent reusability properties. Nata et al [39] demonstrated a one-step hydrothermal carbonisation of a glucose catalyst at 180 • C for 4 h. The resulting catalyst had an acidity of 1.99 mmol g −1 similar to the work of Zong et al [46] Waste cooking oil (WCO), high in FFAs, was used to demonstrate the catalytic ability of the glucose catalyst. The reaction was carried out at 60 • C and a methanol:oil molar ratio of 20:1.…”

“…Heterogeneous acid catalysis is a promising alternative to conventional biodiesel production due to the simplistic and environmentally friendly nature of the process and the simultaneous promotion of both esterification and transesterification [37][38][39]. In particular, this study will focus on a branch of solid acid catalysts known as sulphonated carbon-based acid solids (CBASs).…”

In recent years, a new class of superior heterogeneous acid catalyst for biodiesel production has emerged. These catalysts offer advantages over their predecessors such as high surface area, elevated acid site density, enhanced catalyst activity, good operation stability and relevant economic affordability in an environmentally friendly frame. This review was concerned with carbon-based solid acid (CBAS) catalysts derived from both carbohydrate and pyrolysis products. A series of CBASs with various origins such as D-glucose, sucrose, starch, cellulose and vegetable oil asphalt, converted to char and sulphonated, have been explored as potential heterogeneous catalysts. Catalyst preparation and synthesis methods were briefly summarized. Catalyst characterization and performance for biofuels related reactions were elucidated, identifying potential research applications. Three catalysts in particular were identified as having potential for industrial application and requiring further research.
