Production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF): recent progress focusing on the chemical-catalytic routes

The research progress on the production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by the oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethyl furfural has been reviewed, focusing on the chemical-catalytic routes.
