Furan-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), an alternative of terephthalic acid (TA), is widely used as intermediates for the polymers, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. FDCA has many applications; however, it suffers from its low productivity. For the large scale production of FDCA, the process indeed needs to be improved. Here, we introduce the production of FDCA from HMF oxidation using mixed solvent system. The oxidation of HMF to produce FDCA has been carried wherein both alcohol and aldehyde groups of HMF react with molecular oxygen over the catalyst of metals/bromide (Co/Mn/Br). To achieve maximum yield of FDCA at complete conversion of HMF, the reaction conditions were optimized by varying the reaction temperature (from 130 – 180 o C), time (from 1 – 4 h) and pressure (from 600 – 900 Psi). |
