Abstract

Glucose is a monosaccharide-type carbohydrate that serves as a fundamental building block of biomass. In this research, glucose was hydrolyzed using a Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) as the solvent and AlCl3  as the catalyst. The effects of temperature and catalyst concentration were investigated as key variables in the reaction. The glucose conversion results were tested using the UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The yields of glucose conversion were analyzed using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Design Expert Version 13 software. The results of RSM analysis show that glucose conversion increases linearly with rising reaction temperature. The effect of catalyst concentration indicates that glucose conversion decreases at higher catalyst levels. The reaction temperature and AlCl3 catalyst concentration that can be recommended for optimum conditions from the Design Expert data processing results are 112.869 C and 1.913% with a predicted conversion value of 93.844%.

Abstract

Furfural has emerged as a value-added chemical product which generated from hemicellulose-base biomass, in the context of hardwood it called as biorefining. Several methods have been developed to produce furfural using both hydrothermal and catalytic processes. In this study, hydrolysate is used as feedstock for generating furfural by using diluted sulfuric acid and aluminium chloride. Temperature and reaction time has been considered as the valuable variable. Hydrolysate was charged with the acid-catalyst for around 90 min at certain temperature. The product analyzed by using fourier transform index refractory and excess bromine method. At this time, the highest yield of furfural for non-catalyst process was achieved at 120 oC for 90 min. Diluted acid solution by hydrochloric acid and AlCl3 1% managed to increase furfural production from hydrolysate in the mild temperature.
