Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer catalysis technology, and more specifically to a catalytic system based on MeOH-bifunctional zirconium-based heteropolyacids, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The depletion of fossil resources and global warming have sparked great interest in renewable and sustainable alternatives to fuels and chemicals. Biomass, an important renewable carbon resource, boasts advantages such as abundant reserves, easy access, and the ability to be utilized without altering the existing carbon balance of ecosystems, making it the only promising renewable non-fossil-based carbon resource.
[0003] Glucose is a very important and versatile compound in the chemical field. It has wide applications in industrial production and laboratory research. It can be used to produce ethanol, butanol, antibiotics, amino acids, and to synthesize vitamin C, sorbitol, mannitol, gluconic acid, etc. Glucose is widely and abundantly sourced, and its conversion is particularly important in the field of biomass conversion. Pyruvic acid is a multifunctional chemical raw material that plays a key role in many industries. It is not only widely used in the petrochemical industry, but also holds an irreplaceable position in the cosmetics, fragrance, polymer crosslinking agents, and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, finding efficient production methods to convert glucose into pyruvic acid has become an important issue for industry development.
[0004] Natalia Sobus et al. used synthetic zeolite BEA as a matrix to convert biomass glucose into pyruvate with the participation of Na-BEA zeolite. The highest pyruvate yield was achieved when treated with 0.1 g and 0.6 g Na-BEA catalysts for 1-5 hours at 200-250℃. Luo et al. optimized the fermentation process using gene editing combined with glucose as the main carbon source, strictly controlling dissolved oxygen and pH during fermentation to maintain efficient cell production. In the optimized fermenter scale, pyruvate yield reached approximately 65 g / L with a high sugar-acid conversion rate. Hädrich et al. used engineered Vibrionatriegens for fermentation, confirming that pyruvate was generated during high-intensity production using high-growth strains. While these studies achieved good results, the catalytic conditions were demanding, the preparation was difficult, and the efficiency was not high.
[0005] Therefore, developing a catalytic system that can be easily prepared and can efficiently and selectively catalyze under mild conditions is key to converting D-glucose into pyruvate for industrial production. Summary of the Invention
