Abstract
A method for synthesizing furan-2, 5-dicarboxylate (FDCA) is provided. Furan-2-carboxylate is provided with an inorganic base in the form of an inorganic base salt, wherein the furan-2-carboxylate and the inorganic base salt form a mixture. A COgas is provided to the mixture. The mixture is heated to a temperature to at least partially melt the mixture, wherein the heating of the mixture causes the synthesizing of a MFDCA solid, wherein MFDCA denotes a salt comprising furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (FDCA) and cation Mand/or M, where x is a number between 1 and 2, inclusive. The mixture containing furan-2-carboxylate is mechanically agitated, wherein the mechanically agitating breaks up the MFDCA solid.
