Journal ArticleDOI
Production of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural from Glucose Using a Combination of Lewis and Brønsted Acid Catalysts in Water in a Biphasic Reactor with an Alkylphenol Solvent
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the catalytic conversion of glucose in high yields (62%) to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a versatile platform chemical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of hemicellulose into furfural using solid acid catalysts in γ-valerolactone.
Elif I. Gürbüz,Jean Marcel R. Gallo,David Martin Alonso,Stephanie G. Wettstein,Wee Y. Lim,James A. Dumesic +5 more
TL;DR: The aforementioned difficulties associated with the conversion of xylose into furfural can be alleviated by using gvalerolactone (GVL) as a solvent in a monophasic system with solid acid catalysts, and GVL is a solvent which can be produced from lignocellulose, and Horvath and coworkers have been strong proponents for the use of GVL as an solvent in biomass processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solvent Effects in Acid‐Catalyzed Biomass Conversion Reactions
Max A. Mellmer,Canan Sener,Jean Marcel R. Gallo,Jeremy S. Luterbacher,David Martin Alonso,James A. Dumesic +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, reaction kinetics were studied to quantify the effects of polar aprotic organic solvents on the acid-catalyzed conversion of xylose into furfural.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and upgrading of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using heterogeneous catalysts and biomass-derived solvents
TL;DR: In this paper, high yields of HMF from glucose can be achieved using biomass-derived solvents and a combination of solid Lewis and Bronsted catalysts in a salt-free reaction system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct conversion of cellulose to levulinic acid and gamma-valerolactone using solid acid catalysts
David Martin Alonso,Jean Marcel R. Gallo,Max A. Mellmer,Max A. Mellmer,Stephanie G. Wettstein,Stephanie G. Wettstein,James A. Dumesic,James A. Dumesic +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors converted cellulose with high yield (69%) to levulinic acid (LA) using Amberlyst 70 as the catalyst and using a solution of 90 wt% gamma-valerolactone (GVL) and 10 Wt% water as the solvent.
