- Glucose is a bio-renewable feedstock that can be oxidised to gluconic acid. Gluconic acid is used in the pharmaceutical, food, paper, and concrete industries. Gluconic acid is a mild organic acid with an annual market volume of around 100 000 metric tonnes per year. This paper is important because we report for the first time the process of oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid without using sacrificial base or pH control and using air as the oxidant gas, which would lower the cost of the catalytic, industrially scalable process.
