Petroleum, one of the fossil fuels, is still the main source for liquid fuel production. Lignin
derived from renewable biomass has the potential to replace petroleum. The abundance of …

A critical review of the points of zero charge (PZC) obtained by potentiometric titration and of
isoelectric points (IEP) obtained by electrokinetic measurements. The results from the recent …

Lignins are the most abundant biopolymers that consist of aromatic units. Lignins are
obtained by fractionation of lignocellulose in the form of “technical lignins”. The …

Hierarchical ZSM-5 with mesopores were derived from seed directing crystalline process.
The efficient encapsulation of nickel metal was achieved by a simple incipient wetness …

We report a continuous selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) process of guaiacol
conversion to cycloalkanes under 180° C/1 MPa, which results in improved HDO chemistry …

The production of alternative fuels is more than essential to the energy and transportation
sectors. Biomass based oil generation through a pyrolysis process is one of the attempts to …

Abstract Ni/Al-MCM-41 (x) catalysts were synthesized and tested in the hydrodeoxygenation
of anisole as a model compound of bio-oil. Prepared catalysts behave as bifunctional metal …

The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived phenols is an important step for
bio-oil upgrading. Herein, a novel HDO system was established in the presence of nitrogen …

Practical, economical, and high-selectivity methods of lignin bio-oil upgrading could greatly
increase biorefinery productivity and profitability. Herein, we report the efficient production of …

Lignin, an abundant and renewable resource, is increasingly important for renewable
energy and sustainable development. Recent attention has focused on producing value …
