In this Review, all known chemical methods for the conversion of renewable resources into
benzenoid aromatics are summarized. The raw materials that were taken into consideration …

The anthropologic impact on climate has reached a critical level given that society relies on
non-renewable fossil resources for energy. Thus, to alleviate this, lignins can play a key role …

Kraft pul** is more than one hundred years old. The kraft lignin recovery has however
been implemented commercially in the last ten years. The lignin is a bio-based by-product …

Direct valorization of biomass into value-added chemicals is attractive yet challenging.
Herein, we report a one-pot synthesis of 2, 5-bis (hydroxymethyl) furan (BHMF) and its …

Lignin holds tremendous and versatile possibilities to produce value-added chemicals and
high performing polymeric materials. Over the years, different cutting-edge lignin …

Recently, catalytic valorization of biomass-driven furfural has attracted great interest. In this
work, we report a one-pot photoenzymatic route toward maleic acid (MA) and its C4 …

Direct conversion of inexpensive fructose into value-added furanic chemicals via
chemobiocatalytic cascades is a highly attractive yet challenging task due to the …

As a by-product of biomass pyrolysis process, the heavy fraction in bio-oil is characterized
by high carbon content, easy polymerization and carbonization and abundant oxygen …

The biorefining of sugar-based biomass has attracted increasing attention in response to the
continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves. The key to biorefinery is to choose a suitable …
