Abstract
A simple, sustainable, one-pot, and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) and furfural from waste papers, cotton, poly/mono-meric carbohydrates using a hydrothermal reactor system has been demonstrated. The synergetic role of oxalic acid and LiCl was investigated for the conversion of different types of waste paper such as cardboard, newspaper, tissue paper, white paper, and cotton in a greener solvent media THF-water to 5-HMF and furfural production. Moreover, the influence of reaction time, temperature, oxalic acid and LiCl concentrations, and the impact of different solvents were critically examined to procure 27–79 and 39–62 mol% yields of 5-HMF and furfural respectively. This study also elucidates the relative compositions of various waste paper/cotton, and the quantification of desired products were determined through the ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) analysis technique with 85–95% products purity.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
