Progress in the Development of Mesoporous Solid Acid and Base Catalysts for Converting Carbohydrates into Platform Chemicals

  • Chapter
Reaction Pathways and Mechanisms in Thermocatalytic Biomass Conversion I

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

This chapter provides a general overview of recent studies on catalytic conversion of fructose, glucose, and cellulose to platform chemicals over porous solid acid and base catalysts, including zeolites, ion-exchange resins, heteropoly acids, as well as structured carbon, silica, and metal oxide materials. Attention is focused on the dehydration of glucose and fructose to HMF, isomerization of glucose to fructose, hydrolysis of cellulose to sugar, and glycosidation of cellulose to alkyl glucosides. The correlation of porous structure, surface properties, and the strength or types of acid or base with the catalyst activity in these reactions is discussed in detail in this chapter.
