The importance of ethyl levulinate (EL) as a fuel additive and a potential biomass-derived
platform molecule is noteworthy. EL is obtained from the esterification of levulinic acid (LA) …

Polylactic acid (PLAs) and polycaprolactones (PCLs) are emerging to be polyesters of
choice because they are biodegradable and biocompatible. The industrial viable method …

The direct conversion of levulinic acid (LA) to valeric biofuel is highly promising for the
development of biorefineries. Herein, LA is converted into valeric acid (VA) via one-pot direct …

Succinic acid is a biomass-derived platform chemical that can be catalytically converted in
the aqueous phase to 1, 4-butanediol (BDO), a prevalent building block used in the polymer …

The use of bioderived drop-in fuels is an essential step in the reduction in fossil fuel usage.
While ethanol and biodiesel are known quantities, the use of novel biomass that does not …

Selective dehydration of polyalcohols over zeolites containing Brønsted acids is a promising
approach to purify and recycle multilayer polymer films consisting of non-polar polymers …

Technologies for the processing of lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals are
generally focused on selective chemical transformation of the three different types of …

The iodide precursor oxidation has persistently plagued solution grown iodine‐based
perovskite single crystals (IPSCs) that inevitably introduce undesirable triiodide ion (I3−) …

This study considers the thermochemistry and kinetics of γ-valerolactone and pentenoic acid
interconversion as well as the decarboxylation of both molecules over amorphous silica …

Catalytic transformation routes for the valorization of biomass-derived 6-amyl-α-pyrone
(6PP) were explored for the first time. Ring-opening and decarboxylation of 6PP in water …
