Studies in the Area of Biofuel Reported from Chinese Academy of Sciences (High-yield Synthesis of Alkyl Levulinate From Furfuryl Alcohol and Its Upgrading To 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane Over Agpw)

Article Description

In order to relieve greenhouse effect, it is highly urgent to convert carbon-neutral biomass to value-added chemicals and liquid fuels by designing new process. 96.5% yield of biofuel alkyl levulinate was achieved in the alcoholysis of furfuryl alcohol with ethanol over highly active Ag + exchanged H 3 PW 12 O 40 (AgPW) catalyst at low temperature. In situ XRD, 31 P MAS NMR, XPS and NH 3 -TPD results confirm that AgPW contains large amounts of strong acid sites and stable Keggin structure, resulting in the excellent performance. Subsequently, new process was developed to synthesize biofuel 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolanes (MDL) with ∼70% yields via a tandem furfuryl alcohol alcoholysis and acetalization reaction over AgPW. Additionally, MDL can be availably obtained from furfural, xylose and hemicellulose by an integrated multi-step process.
