Glucosamine, which is a monomer of chitosan, and sulfamic acid, which has dual active sites, were employed as substrate and catalyst, respectively, to produce the bio-based platform chemicals LA and 5-HMF.

Humins is a biomass-derived material, co-product of the acid-catalyzed conversion of cellulose and hemicellulose to platform chemicals. This work presents a thorough study concerning the crosslinking kinetics of humins by chemorheological analysis and model-free kinetics under isothermal and non-isothermal curing. Humins can auto-crosslink under the effect of temperature, and the reaction can be fastener when adding an acidic initiator. Thus, the effect of P-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (pTSA) on the crosslinking kinetics was also studied. The dependencies of the effective activation energy (Eα-dependencies) were determined by an advanced isoconversional method and correlated with the variation of complex viscosity during curing. It is shown that humins curing involves multi-step complex reactions and that the use of an acidic initiator allows faster crosslinking at lower temperatures, involving lower Eα. The shift from chemical to diffusion control was also estimated.

The effect of pressure up to 3 kbar on the rate of the acid-catalyzed hydration of propylene and isobutylene has been measured. The volumes of activation are: for propylene at 100 °C−9.6 ± ~1.0 cm3 mole−1, and for isobutylene at 35 °C− 11.5 ± ~1.0 cm3 mole−1. The effect of temperature in the range 90–120 °C on the rate of hydration of propylene at 100 bar was measured. At 100 °C the Arrhenius energy is 27.1 ± ~1.0 kcal mole−1 and the entropy of activation is −5.4 ± ~2.5 cal deg−1 mole−1. Both the volumes and entropies of activation strongly indicate that a molecule of water is present in the transition states, which can therefore be represented as [olefin. H+•H2O]≠. There appears to be no strong evidence regarding the molecular structure of the transition states.

Multistage dissolution experiments of humins, obtained from fructose dehydration, were performed in various solvents to investigate the solubility and molecular structure using spectroscopic, chromatography and mass spectrometric techniques.
