Abstract
Macroalgae are attractive feeds for biobased platform chemicals like 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA). We here report an experimental study to obtain HMF from a representative red macroalgae using a biphasic water/MIBK system and a dual catalyst consisting of HCl and AlCl3 in a batch set-up. The highest HMF yield was 64.0 mol% based on C6 sugars in the feed, corresponding with a carbon yield of 37.9 % (30 min, 153 °C, 0.04 M of AlCl3 and 0.04 M of HCl, 5 wt% macroalgae (Eucheuma cottonii, EC), intake on water). A reaction network is proposed based on major and minor products identified in the liquid phase during reaction and involves both D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose. The experimental data were modeled using a statistical approach, and good agreement between the experimental results and the model was obtained. The model predicts that particularly the temperature has a significant effect on HMF yield. The data were also modeled using an appropriate kinetic model and the kinetic model was used to optimize the batch processing of EC.
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.
