Abstract

Furfural is one of the biomass compounds via potential applications in the production of value-added chemicals. However, its conversion to valuable products is challenging due to its complex structure. In this study, Fe^III/g-C₃N₄, a promising photocatalyst, is employed to facilitate the conversion of furfural under visible light conditions. The results demonstrate that the catalyst effectively promotes the switchable alteration of furfural into maleic acid, succinic acid, and furan. The production of maleic acid, succinic acid, and furan using a photocatalyst holds significant importance in the field of sustainable chemistry and renewable energy. These chemical compounds have various industrial applications and can be derived from renewable resources, making them environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional petrochemical-based products. By using electrochemical and photoelectrochemical analyses as well as various control experiments including reaction atmosphere and radical scavengers, a precise mechanism for the production of an active oxygen radical species has been presented.

FeIII/g-C3N4 作为光催化剂在将糠醛转化为琥珀酸和马来酸过程中的协同效应：有望实现可持续化学转化和先进环境修复的方法

糠醛是一种生物质化合物，具有生产高附加值化学品的潜在用途。然而，由于其结构复杂，将其转化为有价值的产品具有挑战性。本研究采用了一种前景看好的光催化剂 FeIII/g-C3N4，在可见光条件下促进糠醛的转化。结果表明，该催化剂能有效地促进糠醛向马来酸、琥珀酸和呋喃的转化。利用光催化剂生产马来酸、琥珀酸和呋喃在可持续化学和可再生能源领域具有重要意义。这些化合物具有多种工业用途，可从可再生资源中提取，是传统石化产品的环保替代品。通过电化学和光电化学分析以及包括反应气氛和自由基清除剂在内的各种控制实验，提出了活性氧自由基物种产生的精确机制。

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.
