Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was catalytically converted in a bench-scale flow reactor to the oxidized derivatives 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA), and 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF). Conversions and selectivities to these products depended on oxidant, pH, catalyst, and reactor operating conditions. The feasibility of producing these species in a flow reactor was demonstrated.
