Abstract

Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) is a biobased plastic, similar to synthetic polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is produced from the platform chemical 2,5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Much of the literature surrounding PEF is focused on unit processes, with little regard for their sustainability and economic viability. In this comprehensive critical review, the entire process of PEF production, from the feedstock to polymerization and upstream applications, is critically examined. Identification of individual pathways capable of producing PEF efficiently and with favorable properties while considering economic viability and environmental sustainability are presented. For each unit operation, recent technological developments are summarized, and recommendations are made based on process efficiency. The collection of the findings from both life cycle assessments (LCA) and techno‐economic analyses (TEA) facilitated the identification of pathways with the greatest potential for environmental sustainability and economic viability of PEF production.

生物基聚呋喃乙烯：生产工艺、可持续性和技术经济学

聚呋喃乙烯（PEF）是一种生物基塑料，类似于合成聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET），由平台化学品 2,5-羟甲基糠醛（HMF）生产。有关 PEF 的许多文献都集中在单元工艺上，很少考虑其可持续性和经济可行性。在这篇综合评论中，对全氟乙烯生产的整个过程，从原料到聚合再到上游应用，都进行了严格的审查。在考虑经济可行性和环境可持续性的同时，还确定了能够高效生产 PEF 并具有良好特性的各个途径。对每个单元操作的最新技术发展进行了总结，并根据工艺效率提出了建议。通过收集生命周期评估（LCA）和技术经济分析（TEA）的结果，确定了具有最大环境可持续性潜力和经济可行性的全氟聚醚生产途径。
