Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, the main goal is introducing a new method for the production of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and its derivatives. I propose an integrated process with low energy input for high-yield production of hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) from glucose in biomass hydrolysates. Due to the prevalent recognition that HMF is a versatile platform molecule for fuels and chemicals, there is a critical need for economically viable technologies for its production from biomass hydrolysates. Previous attempts to generate HMF in aqueous media (either from untreated biomass or from hydrolysates) have not resulted in high yields due to loss of product to humins and inability to prevent hydrolysis of HMF to levulinic and formic acids. Although biomass hydrolysates typically contain glucose, it is now broadly recognized that the best yields can be obtained by dehydration of the corresponding keto-isomer, fructose, and by executing the reactions in non aqueous reaction media (e.g. DMSO and ionic liquids (ILs)). The challenge then, for cost-effective and high-yield HMF production, is to devise a cohesive pathway to efficiently transfer glucose from biomass hydrolysate into the non-aqueous reaction media; produce HMF in high yield; and isolate it for downstream processing, all with low energy input and recycling of process streams. The technology addresses this challenge and we propose a hybrid enzyme- and chemo-catalytic process that first converts hydrolysate glucose to its more reactive ketose form and subsequently integrates with a downstream catalytic dehydration step that achieves high yields of HMF. The conversion of hydrolysate glucose to fructose and its near-complete recovery is accomplished through a novel enzyme-based simultaneous-isomerization-and-reactive-extraction (SIRE) process. The recovered fructose is then dehydrated to HMF in an acidic ionic liquid (IL) reaction medium and simultaneously extracted into low-boiling tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent to prevent side reactions, increase process yields and facilitate easy product recovery. Conversion of fructose to HMF in IL-media results in superior yields than in aqueous solutions and also occurs at mild operating conditions (IL rxn T ~ 50 °C; aqueous rxn T >160 °C). Finally, a key feature of this technology is that it permits recycling and reuse of the catalysts, solvents and reaction media. This method also is proven to be an ideal pathway to produce furfural and HMF simultaneously from mixed C5 and C6 sugars stream. In addition, for the important HMF derivatives namely 5-ethoxy methyl furfural (EMF), levulinic acid and 5-acetoxymethyl furfural (AMF) production this method has modified and successfully applied.
Book Synopsis Economic Production of Furans from Lignocellulosic Sugars by : Ravikumar Gogar
Download or read book Economic Production of Furans from Lignocellulosic Sugars written by Ravikumar Gogar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable and abundant feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals. Biomass-derived furans - 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) and furfural, are versatile platform molecules that can be converted to drop-in fuels and precursors for synthetic materials. The lack of efficient pathways to furans from lignocellulosic sugars constitutes a major barrier to their industrial production. This hurdle is particularly severe with respect to the conversion of lignocellulosic sugars (glucose and xylose) to furans, stabilization of furans, especially HMF, and recovery of furans. It is now widely published that the better yield of furans is observed by dehydration of keto-isomers (fructose and xylulose) than aldo-isomers (glucose and xylose). However, cellulose fraction of naturally abundant lignocellulose yields aldoses (glucose and xylose) and isomerization of aldoses to ketoses is equilibrium limited. Further, in aqueous media HMF undergoes undesirable subsequent reactions such as rehydration to form levulinic acid and formic acid and degradative polymerization with itself and sugars, especially glucose, to form humins at high temperature. To address these challenges of efficient conversion of sugars, stabilization, and recovery of furans, our team recently developed hybrid enzyme-chemo-catalytic process for high-yield production of mixed-furans (HMF and furfural) [1-4]. In this process, glucose and xylose in biomass hydrolysates are first isomerized to corresponding ketoses (i.e. fructose and xylulose) using immobilized glucose-xylose isomerase. This enzymatic step is closely integrated with selective extraction of the ketoses into a water-immiscible octanol phase containing lipophilic quaternary ammonium salt and aryl boronic acid that have a selective affinity for ketoses. As a result, the isomerization and extraction occur simultaneously to drive the isomerization equilibrium towards formation of the ketose isomers - a process termed Simultaneous Isomerization and Reactive Extraction (SIRE). Next, the keto-sugars in the octanol phase are back extracted into an acidic ionic liquid medium that is uniquely suited for dehydration reactions - a process step termed Back Extraction (BE). Thereafter, the ketose-rich sugar mixture undergoes dehydration to furans in the ionic liquid which is part of a biphasic reaction mixture with tetrahydrofuran (THF) which allows extraction and stabilization of the furans as they are formed. Finally, the furans are recovered from THF by distillation. We performed the techno-economic assessment (TEA) for a furan production facility operating at feed rate of 1,000 MT of biomass hydrolysate sugars (dry-basis) per day via the SIRE-BE-Dehydration pathway. The discounted cash flow analysis of a process design that corresponded closely with experimental conditions (concentrated sugar feed and high yield dehydration) and conventional downstream processing, estimated the Minimum Furan Selling Price (MFSP) to be $2.4/kg when feedstock is sourced at $0.3/kg-dry-sugar. With integration of novel and energy efficient product and chemical recovery methods, the MFSP was significantly lower at $1.42/kg - a promising price-point for industrially important chemical products from furans. Sensitivity analyses identified overall furan yield, feedstock sugar costs, and energy cost to recover product furans from ionic liquid as the dominant contributors to the selling price. To improve the process economics, modification in BE and dehydration step of SIRE-BE-Dehydration process is proposed. Use of acidic aqueous media in BE step eliminates the need of ionic liquid and yet results into a concentrated sugar solution with high fructose-to-glucose ratio. For dehydration, use of renewable solvent - 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) having low heat of vaporization (383 kJ/kg, BP 85°C) as co-solvent is proposed after screening solvents and reaction optimization studies. The presence of polar aprotic solvent DME as co-solvent, selectively converts fructose into HMF, leaves glucose unreacted, and lowers the energy requirement as well as avoids the need of vacuum operation in separation processes. A pathway to recover unreacted glucose and HMF from the product mixture of water-DME by phase splitting using toluene as the ternary solvent is also demonstrated. The updated techno-economic assessment of the SIRE-BE process followed by dehydration in water-DME solvent system estimates a minimum selling price (MSP) of $1.32/kg-HMF solubilized in toluene at a concentration ideally suited for further product upgrading. Finally, the innovative SIRE process was studied in a flow reactor and transient studies were compared with the theoretical model.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sugar dehydration products, furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF), are commonly formed during high-temperature processing of lignocellulose, most often in thermochemical pretreatment, liquefaction, or pyrolysis. Typically, these two aldehydes are considered major inhibitors in microbial conversion processes. Many microbes can convert these compounds to their less toxic, dead-end alcohol counterparts, furfuryl alcohol and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfuryl alcohol. Recently, the genes responsible for aerobic catabolism of furfural and HMF were discovered in Cupriavidus basilensis HMF14 to enable complete conversion of these compounds to the TCA cycle intermediate, 2-oxo-glutarate. In this work, we engineer the robust soil microbe, Pseudomonas putida KT2440, to utilize furfural and HMF as sole carbon and energy sources via complete genomic integration of the 12 kB hmf gene cluster previously reported from Burkholderia phytofirmans. The common intermediate, 2-furoic acid, is shown to be a bottleneck for both furfural and HMF metabolism. When cultured on biomass hydrolysate containing representative amounts of furfural and HMF from dilute-acid pretreatment, the engineered strain outperforms the wild type microbe in terms of reduced lag time and enhanced growth rates due to catabolism of furfural and HMF. Overall, this study demonstrates that an approach for biological conversion of furfural and HMF, relative to the typical production of dead-end alcohols, enables both enhanced carbon conversion and substantially improves tolerance to hydrolysate inhibitors. Furthermore, this approach should find general utility both in emerging aerobic processes for the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass-derived sugars and in the biological conversion of high-temperature biomass streams from liquefaction or pyrolysis where furfural and HMF are much more abundant than in biomass hydrolysates from pretreatment.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing demands and dwindling supplies of petroleum, more attention is diverted to an abundant, renewable, and carbon-neutral resource for fuels and chemicals--lignocellulosic biomass. Lignocellulosic biomass has a great potential to become an alternative for conventional crude-oil, due to its ample availability, renewability and, more importantly, its amenability for conversion to liquid fuels and products. An important class of products that could be made from the carbohydrates of lignocellulosic biomass is furan derivatives, which are commercially used as building blocks for fuel and material production. Furfural and 5-(Hydroxymethyl) furfural (5-HMF) are two value-added furan derivatives that have several industrial applications. This work focuses on the catalytic dehydration of a mixture of xylose and glucose - sugars derived from hemicellulose and cellulose portions of biomass, respectively - to a mixture of furfural and 5-HMF in ionic liquid (IL) medium comprising 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIM]Cl). Most previous studies focused on converting individual pentose or hexose sugars in IL. Often, it was observed that operating conditions suitable for one kind of sugar are significantly sub-optimal for the other. In this study, we identified conditions that promote conversion of both kinds of sugars simultaneously. Highest yields resulted when the furan products were extracted into an organic solvent immiscible with the reaction medium.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US interest in biomass as an alternative energy source continues to increase in demand with growing political, economic and environment concerns with fossil fuels. One potential route for converting cellulosic biomass to fuels is through the dehydration of fructose to produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), followed by the catalytic conversion of HMF to renewable fuels, such as dimethylfuran (DMF). Economically viable production of HMF from fructose requires high yields. The formation of HMF has been thought to occur through the acid-catalyzed dehydration of the furanose form of fructose, while other fructose tautomers likely lead to unwanted side products. The tautomeric composition of fructose is highly dependent on the reaction temperature and solvent system; thus, HMF production is likely sensitive to these factors. In order to develop detailed insights into the factors that control HMF yields, we executed extensive kinetic analysis using a variety of solvent systems, reaction conditions, acid types and acid concentrations to determine the mechanism and selectivity controlling factors in fructose dehydration to HMF by homogeneous acid catalysts. Through these studies we were able to strongly support the hypothesis that selectivity in fructose conversion to HMF is controlled by the tautomeric distribution. Furthermore, we found that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions produce the highest HMF selectivity, (up to 85%) and fastest conversion rates of any solvent system; however, DMSO is highly energy intensive to separate. To overcome separation costs, we aimed to develop novel heterogeneous catalysts which mimic the desirable solvation effects of DMSO in low boiling, aqueous co-solvent mixtures. We grafted DMSO-like functional groups near acidic sites on the surface of supports generate local conditions which mimic bulk solutions of DMSO, which increased HMF selectivity by ∼30%. To synthesize these catalysts, the surface of silica was first functionalized by (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane. The grafted thiols were then converted into 1, 3-methyl propyl sulfoxides to mimic DMSO at the surface and characterized by RAMAN spectroscopy. A techno-economic analysis was performed on the conversion of fructose to dimethylfuran (DMF) by heterogeneous catalysts in aqueous tetrahydrofuran solutions, using Aspen Plus. We report a minimum selling price (MSP) of DMF of 1.74 $/kg, with fructose feedstock, DMF yield, catalyst cost, and water treatment being the main contributors to the MSP.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Use of biomass as feedstock for the production of carbon-based fuels and chemicals represents an essential component of the global strategy to attain sustainable and circular industrial economies. Current strategic objectives for biomass conversion technologies focus on enhancing cost competitiveness through, for example, the use of cheaper feedstocks (e.g. lignocellulosic wastes). However, adoption of lignocellulosic biomass as substrate will only be possible after addressing the inefficiencies and costs which stem from the additional processing necessitated by the compositional complexity of lignocellulosic materials. Nature, wherein the recycling of lignocellulosics is an essential ecological process, may offer strategies for engineers and scientists to emulate. Fungi, particularly filamentous fungi, are well-known for their role as material recyclers in the natural carbon cycles and, as such, are intriguing for use in biomass-conversion, or biorefining processes. Concerning the products of fungal biotransformations, the number of potential products is proportional to the number of metabolites associated with a given organism; and these metabolic products remain largely underexplored or altogether unidentified. Therefore, a method for screening and evaluating a large number of products that may be obtained from fungal biotransformation of various biomass feedstocks was developed as part of the study described herein. Identified among the products were valuable chemicals, such as those described in two recent US Department of Energy surveys, including furans and organic acids. In addition to these "top chemical opportunities", substantial production of bio-pigments was also observed. Of the feedstocks investigated, a simulated food-waste feedstock was associated with the highest pigment production and was thus further investigated for maximal pigment production. To that end, an optimized extraction method was employed and, following this, a novel strategy was explored involving co-culturing of multiple strains of fungi together in a single conversion reaction. It was found that co-culturing the pigment-producing fungus with a specific second species elicited significantly more pigment production vis-à-vis the pigment-producing species alone. 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a compound of industrial interest for use as a replacement for terephthalic acid in polymer production, was also identified among the fungal biotransformation products of apple pomace feedstock. Since FDCA is mainly produced via oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), itself a carbohydrate-derived product, the process of using filamentous fungi for converting HMF into FDCA was more closely investigated. Several industrially relevant strains of filamentous fungi, including the strain used throughout this project (Talaromyces sp. NRRL 2120), were screened for oxidative activity on HMF. It was found that multiple strains of fungi readily performed one oxidation on HMF (i.e. converted HMF into its acid counterpart) but accumulated very little, if any, FDCA under the given reaction conditions. To enable additional oxidation steps, a chemo-biocatalytic cascade involving the best-performing fungal strain coupled with an enzyme/mediator system was devised. This system enabled full conversion of HMF into FDCA and achieved the highest yield and productivity for any system involving filamentous-fungal whole-cells. Following this, the ability to reuse the whole-cell biocatalysts for multiple reactions was explored via encapsulation of the filamentous fungal whole cells. Here it was found that encapsulation of the fungal cells in Ca-alginate beads enabled the biocatalysts to be reliably recycled for up to nine reaction cycles"--
