Conversion of cellulose into 5-hydroxymehylfurfural catalyzed by CrCl3-AlCl3
can be obtained by the direct catalytic conversion of cellulose. The composite catalyst of CrCl3 and AlCl3 was used to convert cellulose into HMF in 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazole chloride ([Bmim]Cl) under oil-bath heating. The effect of catalyst dosage
temperature
cellulose amount
atmosphere
polymerization degree and reaction scale were investigated. The highest HMF yield of 59% was obtained at 4 h when 0.5 g cotton was added into[Bmim]Cl with 25%-2.5% dosage of CrCl3-AlCl3 at 120℃ under N2 (dry) atmosphere. The production efficiency was improved while the cost was reduced. Additionally
the mechanism of degradation of cellulose was proposed.
