Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using a heterogeneous catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Petroleum has been a crucial resource for human development since the 20th century. With dwindling oil reserves and increasing demand for petroleum products, the search for renewable alternatives to petroleum has garnered significant attention in recent years. Among numerous renewable and clean resources, biomass resources are particularly attractive. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF or 5-HMF) is an important platform molecule that can be obtained on a large scale from biomass and can be converted into various high-value-added chemicals such as liquid fuels and other products. 5-HMF can be oxidized to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, and due to its similar structure and properties to terephthalic acid, it is considered a potential substitute for terephthalic acid as a raw material in polymer materials.

[0003] 2,5-Furfurandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is stable and can be used to prepare polyesters, polyamides, and polyurethanes. Polyethylene furfurandicarboxylate (PEF) is considered an important polyester material to replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0004] Currently, the main method for preparing FDCA is the oxidative conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). However, the preparation process still suffers from problems such as harsh reaction conditions, expensive catalysts, unfriendly reaction conditions, and uncontrollable selectivity. Furthermore, the synthesis of FDCA generally requires moderately to strongly alkaline conditions, which leads to difficulties in product separation and purification in the later stages of the reaction, resulting in a significant increase in costs. Although some literature has reported HMF oxidation reactions under certain conditions, most involve noble metal catalysts and their supported alkaline supports. Moreover, the generated FDCA adheres to the catalyst surface, masking the reaction sites, leading to poor catalyst cycling performance under these conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Preferably, after heating and reacting, the mixture is filtered, and the filter cake is used as a manganese-based heterogeneous catalyst to repeat the reaction in step S).

[0019] This invention provides a method for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid using a heterogeneous catalyst, comprising the following steps: 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, a neutral carbonate, and a manganese-based heterogeneous catalyst are heated and reacted in a green solvent under an oxidizing atmosphere to obtain 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.
