Up to now, global world has faced with significant environmental issues mainly due to inconsiderate disposal of plastic waste. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which is biomass-derived plastic monomer, can substitute petroleum-derived terephthalic acid (TPA). In this study, we develop the integrated process for the co-production of FDCA as a bio-based plastic monomer and 1,5-pentanediol as a valuable commodity chemical from lignocellulosic biomass by incorporating catalytic conversion and separation subsystems. By design of heat exchanger network, utility consumption is minimized, thereby improving economics of the process. Through techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment, the trade-off between economic and environmental impact is investigated by comparing biomass-derived FDCA and petroleum-derived TPA productions. These integrated economic feasibility and sustainability studies can provide reliable criteria to decision makers. |
