Abstract
AbstractHighly efficient isomerization of glucose to fructose is essential for valorizing cellulose fraction of biomass to value-added chemicals. This work provided an innovative method for preparing Mg-biochar and Mg–K-biochar catalysts by impregnating either MgCl2 alone or in combination with different K compounds (Ding et al. in Bioresour Technol 341:125835, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125835 and KHCO3) on cellulose-derived biochar, followed by hydrothermal carbonization and pyrolysis. Single active substance MgO existing in the 10Mg–C could give better catalytic effect on glucose isomerization than the synergy of MgO and KCl crystalline material present in 10Mg–KCl–C. But the catalytic effect of 10Mg–C was decreased when the basic site of MgO was overloaded. Compared to other carbon-based metal catalysts, 10Mg–KHCO3–C with 10 wt% MgCl2 loading had excellent catalytic performance, which gave a higher fructose yield (36.7%) and selectivity (74.54%), and catalyzed excellent glucose conversion (53.99%) at 100 °C in 30 min. Scanning electron microscope–energy dispersive spectrometer and X-Ray diffraction revealed that the distribution of Mg2+ and K+ in 10Mg–KHCO3–C was uniform and the catalytic active substances (MgO, KCl and K2CO3) were more than 10Mg–C (only MgO). The synergy effects of MgO and K2CO3 active sites enhanced the pH of reaction system and induced H2O ionization to form considerable OH− ions, thus easily realizing a deprotonation of glucose and effectively catalyzing the isomerization of glucose. In this study, we developed a highly efficient Mg–K-biochar bimetallic catalyst for glucose isomerization and provided an efficient method for cellulose valorization.
