Converting biomass into high value-added compounds has attracted great attention for solving fossil fuel consumption and global warming. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been considered as a versatile biomass-derived building block that can be used to synthesize a variety of sustainable fuels and chemicals. Among these derivatives, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a desirable alternative to petroleum-derived terephthalic acid for the synthesis of biodegradable polyesters. Herein, to fully understand the current development of the catalytic conversion of biomass to FDCA, a comprehensive review of the catalytic conversion of cellulose biomass to HMF and the oxidation of HMF to FDCA is presented. Moreover, future research directions and general trends of using biomass for FDCA production are also proposed.

Amongst organo-metallic frameworks (OMFs), the metallic framework having Zirconium metal indicate fascinating structural properties and excellent stability. Such organo-metallic frameworks (OMFs) function as a potential material for practical application. Even though these particular organo-metallic frameworks are in the early developmental stage but considerable advancements have been carried out recently. We studied the characterization of zirconium-based organo-metallic frameworks. We built Zr-based OMFs by four different synthetic ways. Initially, upgraded preparation under green and commercially feasible conditions has been carried out by modifying Zr-OMFs. Zirconium based OMFs having different structures are then classified and explained based on various organic ligands and zirconium-based secondary building units. We have synthesized the zirconium metal complexes; they have been characterized on the bases of FT-IR and CHNS analyzer. FT-IR results show binding of metal with the Benzene-1, 4-dicarboxylic acid [C6H4 (COOH) 2]. Zirconium metal can bind with the organic substances for the construction of a variety of complexes. From my research work, it is concluded that zirconium metal forms a polymeric complex with terephthalic acid. In which oxygen atoms of Terephthalic acid form bridging structure with the zirconium metal. Our study based on a particular type of OMF is likely expected to present guidance for in-depth exploration of OMFs towards practical applications. It is concluded that the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of zirconium metal have many applications in the field of chemistry, biology and other numerous fields of science

Softwood bark is an important by-product of forest industry. Currently, bark is under-utilized and mainly directed for energy production, although it can be extracted with hot water to obtain compounds for value-added use. In Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) bark, condensed tannins and stilbene glycosides are among the compounds that comprise majority of the antioxidative extractives. For developing feasible production chain for softwood bark extractives, knowledge on raw material quality is critical. This study examined the fate of spruce bark tannins and stilbenes during storage treatment with two seasonal replications (i.e., during winter and summer). In the experiment, mature logs were harvested and stored outside. During six-month-storage periods, samples were periodically collected for chemical analysis from both inner and outer bark layers. Additionally, bark extractives were analyzed for antioxidative activities by FRAP, ORAC, and H2O2 scavenging assays. According to the results, stilbenes rapidly degraded during storage, whereas tannins were more stable: only 5–7% of the original stilbene amount and ca. 30–50% of the original amount of condensed tannins were found after 24-week-storage. Summer conditions led to the faster modification of bark chemistry than winter conditions. Changes in antioxidative activity were less pronounced than those of analyzed chemical compounds, indicating that the derivatives of the compounds contribute to the antioxidative activity. The results of the assays showed that, on average, ca. 27% of the original antioxidative capacity remained 24 weeks after the onset of the storage treatment, while a large variation (2–95% of the original capacity remaining) was found between assays, seasons, and bark layers. Inner bark preserved its activities longer than outer bark, and intact bark attached to timber is expected to maintain its activities longer than a debarked one. Thus, to ensure prolonged quality, no debarking before storage is suggested: outer bark protects the inner bark, and debarking enhances the degradation.
