Microwave-Assisted Conversion of Sucrose into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural over Acidic Nanoporous Materials
… be hydrolyzed into biofuel precursors such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). However, due to the poor solubility of cellulose and its robust crystalline structure, current methods available to degrade cellulose into these biofuel precursors are costly, result in low yields along with a large …

Catalytic biomass conversion and upgrading into platform chemicals and liquid fuels
… on depleting fossil fuels. Towards this goal, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), the dehydration product from C6 (poly)sugars, has been intensively investigated as it has been identified as a versatile C6 intermediate or platform for value-added chemicals and biofuels. This work has developed several …

An Integrated Process for Catalytical Conversion of Simple Sugars into Platform Chemicals, HMF and FDCA: Catalysis, Continuous Flow Reactor Design, Valorization of Waste By-Product
… in advancing sustainable chemical production. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) are particularly valuable due to their potential as renewable substitutes for petroleum-derived chemicals. Efficient catalytic processes for converting glucose and fructose into these …

Electrochemical oxidation and reduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in alkaline water electrolyzers
… sustainable biomass molecules such as 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can drastically reduce the overall cell potential. Thus, the energy consumption of electrolyzers, while providing valuable products, expands the potential of electrolyzers for the future. For this reason, in addition to …

Kinetics of Conversion of Dihydroxyacetone to Methylglyoxal in Honey
… the concentration of MGO. The level of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF, a potentially toxic compound) must stay below 40 mg/kg if the honey is to be exported. Formation of HMF is predominately dependent on time and temperature. Therefore there is a trade off between storing honey to maximise …

Techno-economic analysis of furfural derivatives in integrated sugarcane biorefineries
… A-molasses into intermediates such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), levulinic acid (LA), and 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO). Process simulations were developed to generate mass and energy balances, which were used to estimate the capital and operating expenses of each biorefinery. The minimum …
