“…In addition to simple sugars obtained by the depolymerization of cellulose and hemicelluloses, the SBP hydrolysates may contain other valuable chemicals including furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) [15,16], vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) [17] and levulinic acid (LA) [18,19]. Furfural is the main product among the aforementioned compounds, whereas 5-HMF and levulinic acid are yielded in much lower amounts.…”

This study investigates a simultaneous processing of sugar beet pulp (SBP) for furfural, hydrogen and methane production using various pretreatment methods. In the experiments, sugar beet pulp was first subjected to thermal and thermochemical pretreatment at 140 °C. Then hydrolysates from these operations were investigated for their potential for methane and hydrogen production in batch tests. The experiments showed that thermal pretreatment of SBP resulted in the highest biogas and methane yields of 945 dm3/kg volatile solids (VS) and 374 dm3 CH4/kg VS, respectively, and a moderate hydrogen production of 113 dm3 H2/kg VS, which corresponded to a calculated energy production of 142 kWh/t; however, only low amount of furfural was obtained (1.63 g/L). Conversely, the highest furfural yield of 12 g/L was achieved via thermochemical pretreatment of SBP; however, biogas production from hydrolysate was much lower (215 dm3/kg VS) and contained only 67 dm3/kg VS of hydrogen. Meanwhile, in the experiment with lower amounts of sulfuric acid (2%) used for pretreatment, a moderate furfural production of 4 g/L was achieved with as high as 220 dm3/kg VS of hydrogen and the corresponding energy yield of 75 kWh/t.

“…The hexose-rich stream generated after ion-exchange chromatography highlighted above is initially vaporized to increase hexose concentration via the removal of water and low molecular weight impurities (i.e., acetic acid). The hexose-rich stream is then mixed with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent to enable the selective synthesis of HMF, then the mixture is transferred to the HMF reactor [53,54]. In the HMF reactor, the hexose sugar (glucose) is dehydrated to produce HMF.…”

“…Scenario 2 combines two flash separation processes and a distillation column. Kougioumtzis et al (2017) studied the experimental and simulated process production of HMF via glucose transformation. Triebl et al (2013) discussed the production of FDCA from HMF via process simulation work.…”

“…Input and output inventories based on mass and energy balances of the bioproduction route are presented in Table 1 (Scenario 1) and Table 2 (Scenario 2). The inventories for the production of HMF have been adapted, as secondary data, from the work of Kougioumtzis et al (2017). The data for the production of FDCA from HMF were evaluated by means of the simulation software in Aspen Plus™ based on an adaptation of the work of Triebl et al (2013).…”

“…The present study has its focus on the LCA of FDCA. The data of HMF production is based on the publication of Kougioumtzis et al (2017), which uses sulfuric acid for acid hydrolysis, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for HMF synthesis, and dichloromethane (DCM) for HMF recovery. The HMF route towards FDCA is catalyzed by with a precious metal catalyst according to Triebl et al (2013).…”

Environmental sustainability assessment of HMF and FDCA production from lignocellulosic biomass through life cycle assessment (LCA)

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are top biomass-based platform chemicals with promising potential and an essential part of the future of green chemistry. HMF can be obtained mainly from fructose or glucose. Lignocellulosic glucose has a high production potential from not edible biomass. In the present paper life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed aiming at a better understanding of the environmental performance of the production of FDCA and HMF from lignocellulosic feedstock. Two case studies from the literature were modeled to obtain the life cycle inventory data. The production routes to FDCA comprise seven different process sections: hydrolysis, HMF synthesis, HMF recovery, FDCA synthesis, FDCA flash separation, FDCA purification and HMF boiler. By means of the LCA methodology, solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dichloromethane (DCM), together with the energy demand, were found to be clear critical points in the process. Two scenarios were in focus: Scenario 1 considered the purification of FDCA through crystallization, whereas in Scenario 2 purification was performed through distillation.
