高效利用纤维素制备燃料及化学品对人类的可持续发展具有重要的意义.通过化学转化,可以将纤维素转化为一系列的小分子有机物,作为平台化合物制取生物质基液体燃料或材料.本文综述了利用化学方法直接转化纤维素制备小分子化学品(5-羟甲基糠醛、乳酸、乙二醇、山梨醇和异山梨醇)的研究进展,并对后续研究进行了展望.
Efficient transformation of cellulose into liquid fuels and chemicals is one key route for sustainable developmentof human society. With the chemical conversion, cellulose can be transformed to various small molecule organics, whichare regarded as platform for production of liquid fuel or material. The progress in direct catalytic conversion of celluloseinto valuable chemicals is reviewed in this paper, including preparation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), lactic acid,ethylene glycol, sorbitol and isosorbide. Finally, subsequent research topics on transformation of cellulose into valuablechemicals are prospected.
