Promotion of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural synthesis from glucose over AlCl3 catalyst with choline chloride

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Efficient production of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose was achieved in a water‐methyl isobutyl ketone biphasic solvent system over AlCl3 catalyst, using a green and cheap choline chloride (ChCl) salt as a promoter. An optimized HMF yield of 67% was obtained from 0.6 M glucose over 0.06 M AlCl3 with 3.8 M ChCl addition at 140°C ...

2D population balance modeling and ML‐based multi‐objective optimization for the crystallization process of resveratrol

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Crystallization is critical in pharmaceutical manufacturing, influencing active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) purity and processability. This study models the cooling crystallization of resveratrol in a water‐ethanol solvent using a two‐dimensional population balance model (2D‐PBM). Experimental data from Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement
