Recently, environmental pollution and energy shortage are issues in the world. For these reasons, many scientists have been interested in biomass which can be used as the source of energy. Furan derivatives obtained from renewable carbohydrates is potential substitutes for petroleum-based building blocks. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be derived from dehydration of certain sugars such as fructose, glucose and xylose. Micro-reactor has the many attractive merit of using rather than a conventional reactor, which is better control of reaction conditions, improved safety, rapid reaction rate and portability. In this study, we experiment HMF production through a dehydration reaction of an fructose using a variety acid catalyst. In addition, we have developed a catalyst recycling system through the Micro-reactor. By the use of these catalyst recycle systems, it is possible to 1.96mmol of HMF can be produced per one day. |
