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 …

Levulinic acid (LA) is one of the most promising biomass-derived platform chemicals owing
to its wider convertibility to a large number of commodity chemicals. Numerous LA …

Levulinic acid is a sustainable platform molecule that can be upgraded to valuable
chemicals and fuel additives. This article focuses on the catalytic upgrading of levulinic acid …

Over the last century, the world has become increasingly dependent on oil as its main
source of chemicals and energy. Driven largely by the strong economic growth of India and …

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA) are two of the most promising chemicals
derived from biomass owing to their convertibility into a large number of chemicals having …

A biorefinery that supplements its manufacture of low value biofuels with high value
biobased chemicals can enable efforts to reduce nonrenewable fuel consumption while …

Neither the routes through which humin byproducts are formed, nor their molecular structure
have yet been unequivocally established. A better understanding of the formation and …

We apply ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Dynamic Light
Scattering (DLS) experiments to investigate the molecular structure, morphology and growth …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable and abundant source that can be used as a
replacement for fossil resources in the sustainable production of speciality chemicals and …

Furfural offers a promising, rich platform for lignocellulosic biofuels. These include
methylfuran and methyltetrahydrofuran, valerate esters, ethylfurfuryl and …
