  • METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS FOR THE CONVERSION OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC DERIVATIVES TO RENEWABLE PLATFORM CHEMICALS
    Publication number: 20190062293
    Abstract: Methods of processing lignocellulose using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to form renewable platform chemicals that may be used as initial feedstock are provided. Metal-organic frameworks react with Provide lignocellulosic derivative lignocellulosic derivatives such as glucose and fructose to form 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) with high yield and high selectivity for FIMF production.
    Type: Application

  • HMF production from glucose in ionic liquid media
    Patent number: 10112916
    Abstract: Methods of converting lignocellulosic derivatives form 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) in ionic liquids are provided herein. Glucose is enzymatically converted to fructose by isomerization with glucose isomerase and a borate salt. Conversion of fructose to HMF includes dehydration of fructose using ionic liquids or ionic liquids with an acid catalyst to achieve high yield of HMF.
    Type: Grant
