Hindibanın LABSA ve BSA katalizörleri ile değerli kimyasal LA ve yan ürünlere dönüştürülmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada biyokütlenin levulinik asit, 5-hidroksi metilfurfural, formik asit ve asetik asit gibi değerli kimyasallara hidrotermal dönüşümü araştırılmıştır. Değerli kimyasalların üretimi amacıyla yüksek potansiyeli sebebiyle hindiba biyokütle olarak seçildi. Reaksiyonlar, sülfonik asit katalizörleri olarak BSA (Benzensülfonik asit) ve LABSA (Doğrusal alkil benzen sülfonik asit) varlığında gerçekleştirildi. Deneyler, 110 dakikalık bir reaksiyon süresinde, 200°C sıcaklıkta, 1g/25mL biyokütle/çözücü oranında ve değişen kataliözör konsantrasyonlarında (100, 300 ve 600 mM) yapılmıştır. Ürün verimi ve bileşiminin zaman, sülfonik asit konsantrasyonu ve katalizör türü gibi parametreler ile ilişkisi araştırıldı. Bu çalışmada elde edilen maksimum levulinik asit verimi olarak, 200°'de 600 mM BSA için ağırlıkça %22.65 (9.58 g/L) ve 600 mM LABSA için ağırlıkça %85.93 (34.37 g/L) elde edilmiştir.

Conversion of chicory to valuable chemical LA and by-products with LABSA and BSA

Abstract

This work examined the hydrothermal breakdown of biomass into platform chemicals, including acetic acid (AA), formic acid (FA), 5-hydroxy methyl furfural (5-HMF), and levulinic acid (LA). Chicory was selected as feedstock because of its high potential to produce valuable chemicals. Reactions were performed with BSA (benzenesulfonic acid) and LABSA (linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid) as sulfonic acid catalysts. The studies were conducted with different catalyst concentrations (100, 300, and 600 mM) for 110 minutes at 200 °C with a biomass-to-solvent ratio of 1g/25 mL. The variation of product yield and composition on parameters such as time, sulfonic acid concentration, and type of catalyst were investigated. The maximum levulinic acid yields in wt.% achieved through the experiments of this study were 22.65 wt.% (9.05 g/L) for 600 mM BSA and 85.93 wt.% (34.37 g/L) for 600 mM LABSA at 200 °C.
