2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is produced from the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and is an important platform molecule applied in the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. Activated carbons produced from renewable resources are useful materials due to their physicochemical properties, defined mainly by the oxygenated functional groups on their surface. This work studies the oxidation of HMF to FDCA over Pt catalysts supported on açaí coal. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption, XPS, ToF-SIMS, FTIR, XRD, Raman, TEM, SEM, TPR-H2, and TGA/DTA. The conversion of HMF to FDCA in an alkaline medium occurred via hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA), which was oxidized to 5-formylfurancarboxylic acid (FFCA) and FDCA. The catalytic tests showed a high conversion of HMF with a 93.6% yield of FDCA. The excellent results were attributed to the high dispersion of Pt on the support and the presence of oxygenated functional groups on the coal surface. The functional groups increased the interaction between Pt-HMF and Pt-furan intermediates and favored a higher dispersion of platinum (53.3%) due to an anchoring effect.

A green and sustainable route for preparation of hydrochars from cornstalk by hydrothermal carbonization (200°C) was described. The morphology of the hydrochars changed with reaction time increased, the surface of the materials contained a large number of functional groups, showed higher adsorption capacity for Cr (VI) than activated carbon and the removal rates of Cr (VI) were 67% and 29% respectively (pH=1, 20°C).

Poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBF) constitutes a new engineering polyester produced from renewable resources, as it is synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA) and 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD), both formed from sugars coming from biomass. In this research, initially high-molecular-weight PBF was synthesized by applying the melt polycondensation method and using the dimethylester of FDCA as the monomer. Furthermore, five different series of PBF blends were prepared, namely poly(l-lactic acid)–poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PLA–PBF), poly(ethylene terephthalate)–poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PET–PBF), poly(propylene terephthalate)–poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPT–PBF), poly(butylene 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate)-poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBN–PBF), and polycarbonate–poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PC–PBF), by dissolving the polyesters in a trifluoroacetic acid/chloroform mixture (1/4 v/v) followed by coprecipitation as a result of adding the solutions into excess of cold methanol. The wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns of the as-prepared blends showed that mixtures of crystals of the blend components were formed, except for PC which did not crystallize. In general, a lower degree of crystallinity was observed at intermediate compositions. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) heating scans for the melt-quenched samples proved homogeneity in the case of PET–PBF blends. In the remaining cases, the blend components showed distinct Tgs. In PPT–PBF blends, there was a shift of the Tgs to intermediate values, showing some partial miscibility. Reactive blending proved to improve compatibility of the PBN–PBF blends.
