2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) can substitute petro-based terephthalic acid (TPA), in the polymer industry, for applications such as water bottle and food packaging. In this study, we present integrated process for the coproduction of FDCA as a bio-based plastic monomer and 1,5-pentanediol as a value-added product from lignocellulosic biomass by incorporating catalytic conversions and designing separation areas. Moreover, heat integration is performed to reduce and satisfy total heating requirements. Through a techno-economic analysis, the minimum selling price of FDCA is determined to be $1,024/ton. Moreover, a wide range of sensitivity analyses is conducted to identify the major cost drivers among the economic and environmental parameters. Environmental impacts are compared between bio-based FDCA and petro-based TPA productions by life-cycle assessment. The results of integrative analyses can provide meaningful insight to decision-makers. |
