Abstract EN
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural as a versatile organic compound is considered as a promising biomass-derived product via hydrolysis followed by dehydration of lignocellulosic biomass using solid catalysts.
In this study, lignocellulosic materials (corncob) were utilized to synthesize 5-hydroxymethylfurfural via solid acid catalytic conversion.
The precursor of the catalyst material was chemically impregnated with ZnCl2 prior to carbonization.
The solid catalyst was prepared with three different acid concentrations of 98%, 96%, and 94% of sulfuric acid.
The prepared catalyst was characterized by acid density elemental analysis, FTIR, XRD, and SEM.
The maximum result of the total acid density and amount of SO3H group was recorded as 3.5 mmol/g and 0.61 mmol/g, respectively, with high sulfur content of 1.87%.
The result from FTIR spectra of BC-SO3H−1 confirms the incorporation of -SO3H groups into the carbon material.
BC-SO3H−1 was selected based on the acid density and elemental analysis of the catalyst.
The activity of the selected catalyst (BC-SO3H−1) was studied on the transformation of corncob to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using biphasic solvent (water: ethyl acetate) and NaCl in the reaction medium.
The intermediate result in the hydrolysis\dehydration reaction was analyzed using FTIR and the functional groups observed confirm the occurrence of 5-HMF in the intermediate reaction result.
