Highlights
- FDCA from HMF is feasible economically & technically with PV and Chlor-Alkali.
- The minimum cost and selling price of FDCA are $721/t and $1,101/t respectively.
- The TEMPO/NaClO/KBr oxidation catalytic system has also been validated.
Abstract
A techno-economic assessment of different technological processes for the oxidative synthesis of 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is crucial for its industrialization. In the case of the TEMPO/KBr/NaClO oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to produce FDCA and the by-product of NaCl, integrating with a photovoltaic green power supply and NaCl recovery and recycling for the Chlor-Alkali electrolysis enables seamless synergy between green energy and traditional chemical processes. This ensures that no waste is produced throughout the process and significantly reduces the cost of FDCA oxidation. An economic assessment was conducted for the annual production of 100,000 tonnes of FDCA from HMF oxidation. A sensitivity analysis was also performed on relevant factors, such as raw material costs and electricity costs. The results indicate that the minimum cost and minimum selling price of FDCA are $721/t and $1,101/t, respectively. These results demonstrate the techno-economic feasibility of scaling up this process and offer a new option for the subsequent industrialization of FDCA.
