Background
The global exhaustion of fossil fuel resources and environmental problems have led to the exploration of renewable raw materials and sustainable development, and the use of fossil fuels has brought unprecedented pressure to the living environment of human beings and seriously threatens the survival of human beings, and in order to alleviate the environmental and energy crisis, renewable energy has received wide attention from people, among which, cellulose is the most abundant organic molecule, and is converted into biochemical products and biofuels by hydrolysis.
In order to overcome the problems, a carbon-based solid acid catalyst is adopted to be applied to reactions such as cellulose hydrolysis, esterification and the like, and has the advantages of low price, easy separation, reusability, small environmental pollution and the like, so that the carbon-based solid acid catalyst is widely concerned.
Hara et al heated naphthalene in concentrated sulfuric acid (> 96%) (200-300 ℃ C.) to obtain a carbon-based solid acid for the first time. Sulfonic groups are introduced into carbon-based solid acid, and a method of sulfonating by concentrated sulfuric acid or fuming sulfonic acid is mostly adopted, but a large amount of waste acid is generated by sulfonation, so that the method is harmful to the environment and corrodes equipment, and gases harmful to human bodies can be generated in the sulfonation process.
Therefore, in view of the above, it is desired to develop a novel carbon-based solid acid catalyst which has not only good catalytic performance but also good stability, and which does not pollute the environment and reduces the production cost.
