Humic acids (HAs) are natural organic polymers that are widely distributed in terrestrial soils,
natural water, and sediments. Due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, HAs …

(1) Different methods have been applied to fabricate polymeric membranes with non-solvent
induced phase separation (NIPS) being one of the mostly widely used. In NIPS, a solvent or …

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a promising green route to synthesize carbon materials
and valorize biomass waste. The intricacy behind the conversion is enormous, requiring …

The use of lignocellulosic biomass in the chemical industry has increased due to its non-
competition with the food sector. Several platform molecules can be produced from this …

The distinct physicochemical properties and renewable origin of gamma-valerolactone
(GVL) have provided opportunities for diversifying its applications, particularly as a green …

The present work gives an overview of the approaches for green synthesis of 5-
hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2, 5 furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) focusing on reduction …

Catalytic conversion of renewable biomass to “green” chemicals and fuel additives has been
extensively investigated in the past few decades. Interests on two top platform intermediates …

Furfural is a promising renewable platform compound derived from lignocellulosic biomass
that can be further converted to biofuels and biochemicals. The highly functionalized …

Transformation of biomass and CO 2 into renewable value-added chemicals and fuels has
been identified as a promising strategy to fulfill high energy demands, lower greenhouse …

The formation of dark-colored solids, as known as humins, was observed during acid-
catalyzed dehydration of certain biomass platform molecules like fructose, glucose and 5 …
