- Abstract
- Lignocellulosic biomass has been recognized as a promising renewable resource for the production of a number of key commodity chemicals. Among the possible products that can be obtained by upgrading its cellulose component, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a high added-value platform chemical that must be recovered and valorised. The designed acid-catalysed process consists of three steps involving hydrolysis of the biomass, isomerization of the attained glucose into fructose, and the subsequent dehydration of the latter to 5-HMF. Hence, there is strong interest in developing carbon-based catalysts presenting the perfect balance between Brønsted and Lewis acid moieties for favouring this transformation. A carbon solid support possesses all the advantages of a heterogeneous system along with good mechanical and chemical resistance in water and in the O-rich media provided by the biomass, ease of functionalization, and availability in multiple different forms offering controlled and tuneable textural features.
