“…A high glucose conversion without a proportional HMF yield, as observed in other cases, suggests the formation of reaction by-products. In fact, the formation of humin, levulinic acid, furfural, and formic acid, which have been reported in literature as by-products of a glucose dehydration reaction to HMF, is often associated with reaction conditions, mainly to the use of solvents and high temperatures [5,26].

This study aimed to evaluate the synthesis and application of heterogeneous catalysts based on heteropolyacids for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) production from glucose. Initially, assays were carried out in order to establish the most favorable catalyst synthesis conditions. For such purpose, calcination temperature (300 or 500 °C), type of support (Nb2O5 or Al2O3), and active phase (H3PW12O40—HPW or H3PMo12O40—HPMo) were tested and combined based on Taguchi’s L8 orthogonal array. As a result, HPW-Nb2O5 calcined at 300 °C was selected as it presented optimal HMF production performance (9.5% yield). Subsequently, the reaction conditions capable of maximizing HMF production from glucose using the selected catalyst were established. In these experiments, different temperatures (160 or 200 °C), acetone-to-water ratios (1:1 or 3:1 v/v), glucose concentrations (50 or 100 g/L), and catalyst concentrations (1 or 5% w/v) were evaluated according to a Taguchi’s L16 experimental design. The conditions that resulted in the highest HMF yield (40.8%) consisted of using 50 g/L of glucose at 160 °C, 1:1 (v/v) acetone-to-water ratio, and catalyst concentration of 5% (w/v). Recycling tests revealed that the catalyst can be used in four runs, which results in the same HMF yield (approx. 40%).

“…Common solid acid catalysts include carbon-based solid acids, molecular sieves, ion-exchange resins, and heteropoly acids [71]. Degradation of monosaccharide, starch, cellulose, and other biomasses to HMF using solid acid catalysts has been investigated ( Table 2) [72][73][74][75][76], but degradation of chitin biomass using solid acid catalysts has rarely been reported. Kalane et al [77] combined a solid acid catalyst with different concentrations of acetic acid to catalyze chitosan conversion to HMF by "green" synthesis.…”

Chitin biomass, a rich renewable resource, is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide after cellulose. Conversion of chitin biomass to high value-added chemicals can play a significant role in alleviating the global energy crisis and environmental pollution. In this review, the recent achievements in converting chitin biomass to high-value chemicals, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), under different conditions using chitin, chitosan, glucosamine, and N-acetylglucosamine as raw materials are summarized. Related research on pretreatment technology of chitin biomass is also discussed. New approaches for transformation of chitin biomass to HMF are also proposed. This review promotes the development of industrial technologies for degradation of chitin biomass and preparation of HMF. It also provides insight into a sustainable future in terms of renewable resources.

“…In the past decade, various catalysts, such as homogeneous sulfonic acid [11], heteropolyacids (HPAs) [12], heterogeneous metal-oxide-based catalysts, like tin-beta zeolites [13] and Nb 2 O 5 [14], have all been reported to catalyze the dehydration reaction of C 6 monosaccharide to HMF. In addition, numerous green solvent and catalytic systems have been demonstrated to show high glucose-HMF conversion activity and good yields of HMF have been reported, inspiring the development of new class of catalysts [15][16][17]. Very recently, a class of metal salts, such as AlCl 3 [18], SnCl 4 [19], GeCl 4 [20], and YbCl 3 [21], dissolved in either aqueous or ionic liquid media, have been investigated as extremely effective catalysts for HMF production.…”

“…Co-pyrolysis of glucose and taurine with MWCNT, under controlled experimental conditions (200 • C and 250 • C), resulted in a hybrid material in which sulfonic groups were present on the surface of MWCNT. Solid-state NMR was used to determine the chemical structure of the hybrid material and the bonding nature of the sulfonic group using 13 C-labeled glucose and 13 C-or 15 N-labeled taurine. The electrostatic interaction between sulfonate and the aluminum cation was exploited for immobilization of the model Lewis acid catalyst, Al(OTf) 3 .…”

Conversion of biorenewable feedstocks into transportation fuels or chemicals likely necessitates the development of novel heterogeneous catalysts with good hydrothermal stability, due to the nature of highly oxygenated biomass compounds and the prevalence of water as a processing solvent. The use of carbon-based materials, derived from sugars as catalyst precursors, can achieve hydrothermal stability while simultaneously realizing the goal of sustainability. In this work, the simultaneous pyrolysis of glucose and taurine in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), to obtain versatile solid acids, has been demonstrated. Structural and textural properties of the catalysts have been characterized by TEM, TGA, and XPS. Additionally, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy has been exploited to elucidate the chemical nature of carbon species deposited on the surface of MWCNTs. Al(OTf)3, a model Lewis acidic metal salt, has been successfully supported on sulfonic groups tethered to MWCNTs. This catalyst has been tested for C6 sugar dehydration for the production of HMF in a tetrahydrofuran (THF)/water solvent system with good recyclability.
