The growing importance of bio-based products, combined with the desire to decrease the production of wastes, boosts the necessity to use wastes as raw materials for bio-based products. A waste material with a large potential is spent sugar beets, which are mainly used as animal feeds or fertilizers. After hydrothermal treatment, the produced chars exhibited an H/C ratio of 1.2 and a higher heating value of 22.7 MJ/kg, which were similar to that of subbituminous coal and higher than that of lignite. Moreover, the treatment of 25 g/L of glucose and 22 g/L of fructose by heating up to 160 °C led to a possible application of spent sugar beets for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. In the present study, the maximum concentration of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was 3.4 g/L after heating up to 200 °C.
生物基产品的重要性日益增加,加上减少废物生产的愿望,促使人们必须将废物用作生物基产品的原料。一种具有巨大潜力的废料是废糖甜菜,它主要用作动物饲料或肥料。经过水热处理后,所产生的炭的 H/C 比为 1.2,高位热值为 22.7 MJ/kg,与亚烟煤相似,高于褐煤。此外,将 25 g/L 的葡萄糖和 22 g/L 的果糖加热至 160°C 进行处理,可能会将废糖甜菜用于生产 5-羟甲基糠醛。在本研究中,加热至 200°C 后,5-羟甲基糠醛的最大浓度为 3.4 g/L。
