Abstract

Fruit peel waste-derived carbons synthesized from orange and banana peels by hydrothermal carbonization were employed as supports in the preparation of nickel-tungsten heterogeneous catalysts. These bimetallic catalysts were fully characterized by several techniques and evaluated for the direct conversion of cellulose into ethylene glycol (EG) in aqueous medium. The catalysts showed noteworthy activity in cellulose conversion (100%), resulting in an impressive EG yield of up to 50% over the glucose-derived carbon supported Ni-W catalyst. Furthermore, notable EG yields of around 35 and 45% were reached over orange and banana peel-derived carbon supported catalysts, respectively. The best performing catalyst was further tested in four reusability experiments, displaying excellent stability. The results obtained here are amongst the best ever reported for the one-pot cellulose conversion to EG over carbon-supported catalysts. These findings suggest that fruit peel, namely banana peel, holds great potential as a catalytic support, thus presenting a viable alternative for waste valorization in lignocellulosic biorefining.

Graphical abstract

Ni-W catalysts supported on fruit peel waste-based materials were efficient for the sustainable production of ethylene glycol from cellulose.

果皮废炭负载Ni-W催化剂的合成及其在纤维素高效生产乙二醇中的应用

以橘子皮和香蕉皮为原料，水热炭化法合成果皮废炭为载体，制备镍钨非均相催化剂。对这些双金属催化剂进行了多种技术表征，并对其在水介质中直接将纤维素转化为乙二醇（EG）进行了评价。该催化剂在纤维素转化方面表现出显著的活性（100%），与葡萄糖衍生的碳负载Ni-W催化剂相比，EG的产率高达50%。此外，橘子皮和香蕉皮碳负载催化剂的EG收率分别达到35%和45%左右。在四次可重复使用实验中对性能最佳的催化剂进行了进一步的测试，显示出优异的稳定性。这里获得的结果是有史以来最好的报告之一纤维素转化为EG在碳负载的催化剂。这些发现表明，果皮，即香蕉皮，作为催化载体具有很大的潜力，因此在木质纤维素生物精制中为废物增值提供了可行的替代方案。摘要果皮废基材料负载ni - w催化剂是纤维素可持续生产乙二醇的高效催化剂。

期刊介绍： Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
