Highly efficient isomerization of glucose to fructose is essential for valorizing cellulose fraction of biomass to value-added chemicals. This work provided an innovative method for preparing Mg-biochar and Mg–K-biochar catalysts by impregnating either MgCl₂ alone or in combination with different K compounds (Ding et al. in Bioresour Technol 341:125835, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125835 and KHCO₃) on cellulose-derived biochar, followed by hydrothermal carbonization and pyrolysis. Single active substance MgO existing in the ₁₀Mg–C could give better catalytic effect on glucose isomerization than the synergy of MgO and KCl crystalline material present in ₁₀Mg–KCl–C. But the catalytic effect of ₁₀Mg–C was decreased when the basic site of MgO was overloaded. Compared to other carbon-based metal catalysts, ₁₀Mg–KHCO3–C with 10 wt% MgCl₂ loading had excellent catalytic performance, which gave a higher fructose yield (36.7%) and selectivity (74.54%), and catalyzed excellent glucose conversion (53.99%) at 100 °C in 30 min. Scanning electron microscope–energy dispersive spectrometer and X-Ray diffraction revealed that the distribution of Mg²⁺ and K+ in ₁₀Mg–KHCO₃–C was uniform and the catalytic active substances (MgO, KCl and K2CO₃) were more than ₁₀Mg–C (only MgO). The synergy effects of MgO and K₂CO₃ active sites enhanced the pH of reaction system and induced H₂O ionization to form considerable OH– ions, thus easily realizing a deprotonation of glucose and effectively catalyzing the isomerization of glucose. In this study, we developed a highly efficient Mg–K-biochar bimetallic catalyst for glucose isomerization and provided an efficient method for cellulose valorization.
