Developing heterogeneous catalysis for cellulose depolymerization from metal-organic frameworks
Abstract:
Open burning of agricultural residues significantly contributes to air pollution by emitting toxic gases like
CO, NOx, and PAHs, as well as greenhouse gases like CO₂, driving climate change. A sustainable solution is
converting biomass waste (4045% cellulose) into valuable chemicals via cellulose depolymerization.
Traditionally, this process uses mineral acid catalysts, but their corrosiveness and hazardous waste make them
impractical. To overcome this, we are developing NU-1000-based MOF catalysts, known for their high
surface area, thermal stability, chemical stability, and modifiable surfaces. This presentation highlights the
synthesis of NU-1000 and sulfonated NU-1000-SO3H, along with their catalytic performance in breaking β-
1,4 glycosidic bonds using cellobiose as a model. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy (EDS) analyses confirm that the crystallinity of NU-1000 is preserved after the sulfonation
process, with sulfur content measured at approximately 13.05 at.%. Furthermore, nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) analysis demonstrated that NU-1000-SO3H achieves approximately 77% of cellobiose conversion,
while pristine NU-1000 produced other by products including fructose and lactic acid under the same reaction
conditions. The NMR results also indicate that NU-1000-SO3H exhibits significantly higher selectivity for the
depolymerization of cellobiose to glucose compared to pristine NU-1000
