Abstract
Bio-based route for preparing adipic acid (AA) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is the direction for achieving green and sustainable AA production. In light of the challenges, such as corrosion and difficulties in recycling of I- containing homogeneous catalyst, large amount, high cost, and significant mass transfer resistance of ionic liquid (IL) catalyst, encountered in the current hydrodeoxygenation of 2,5-tetrahydrofurandicarboxylic acid (THFDCA) to AA process. Herein, 1-sulfobutyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide IL ([HSO3-b-mim]·I) was used to functionalize MIL-101-NH2 through acid-base self-assembly approach, hence, a heterogeneous catalyst, IL/MIL-101-NH2 was designed and applied in the hydrodeoxygenation of THFDCA to bio-based AA for the first time. When reacted at 180 °C for 2 h, the THFDCA conversion and AA yield were 100 % and 99.9 %, respectively. Moreover, IL/MIL-101-NH2 exhibited remarkable stability and could be reused multiple times with minimal loss in activity. XRD, SEM, FT-IR, BET, XPS, and TG results revealed that the functionalization process involved the reaction between HSO3 in the IL and NH2 in MIL-101-NH2, forming a salt that chemically bonded the IL to MIL-101-NH2, thereby enhancing stability. The excellent hydrodeoxygenation activity was attributed to the synergistic effect of the Lewis acid site (Cr3+) and the Lewis base nucleophilic site (I-) within IL/MIL-101-NH2.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Today focuses on the rapid publication of original invited papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects. The journal only publishes special issues (Proposing a Catalysis Today Special Issue), each of which is supervised by Guest Editors who recruit individual papers and oversee the peer review process. Catalysis Today offers researchers in the field of catalysis in-depth overviews of topical issues.
Both fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis are covered. Subjects such as catalysis of immobilized organometallic and biocatalytic systems are welcome. Subjects related to catalysis such as experimental techniques, adsorption, process technology, synthesis, in situ characterization, computational, theoretical modeling, imaging and others are included if there is a clear relationship to catalysis.
