Conversion of Glucose into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural with WO₃ - MoO₃ Mixed Metal Oxides

Abstract:

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was produced from glucose using WO₃-MoO₃ mixed metal oxides as the catalyst in a biphasic system (H₂O-NaCl/THF), comprised of reactive aqueous phase saturated with NaCl, and containing AlCl₃^.6H₂O, combined with an organic extracting phase consisting of tetrahydrofuran (THF). The influences of different catalysts, initial concentrations of glucose and reaction time on preparation of HMF were investigated. As a result, A HMF yield of 61% could be obtained at 170 °C in 40 min. Recycle of the aqueous phase and WO₃-MoO₃ demonstrated constant activity after 4 cycles of use.
