Abstract
The efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) was achieved using the nano CuO catalyst in a NaClO solution. This study revealed that the particle size of the nano CuO could be effectively regulated by adjusting the calcination temperature, thereby significantly improving the catalytic performance of HMF oxidation to the desired product FDCA. Notably, the CuO-100 catalyst with the smallest particle size exhibited superior HMF conversion and maximum FDCA yield (96.0%). Moreover, even with a reduced NaClO/HMF molar ratio of 7.3:1 to improve the utilization of NaClO, the 94.7% yield of FDCA was obtained on the CuO-100 catalyst.
期刊介绍:
ChemPlusChem is a peer-reviewed, general chemistry journal that brings readers the very best in multidisciplinary research centering on chemistry. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
Fully comprehensive in its scope, ChemPlusChem publishes articles covering new results from at least two different aspects (subfields) of chemistry or one of chemistry and one of another scientific discipline (one chemistry topic plus another one, hence the title ChemPlusChem). All suitable submissions undergo balanced peer review by experts in the field to ensure the highest quality, originality, relevance, significance, and validity.
