Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural stand out as bridges connecting biomass raw materials
to the biorefinery industry. Their reductive transformations by hydroconversion are key …

As our high dependence on the supply of diminishing fossil fuel reserves raise great
concerns in its environmental, political and economic consequences, utilization of …

Catalytic valorisation of biomass with solid functional materials has been recognised as a
promising approach to produce value-added biochemicals and biofuels. Furanic …

Aiming at the valorisation of furfural (Fur) via sustainable routes based on process
intensification and heterogeneous catalysis, the one-pot conversion of this renewable …

This study presents the catalytic valorization of vegetable waste into levulinic acid (LA) over
a solid Brønsted acid, Amberlyst 36, in aqueous solution with/without polar aprotic solvent …

The alternative feedstock, biomass (particularly lignocelluloses), having the profuse
availability, is promising for the synthesis of several value-added chemicals which are …

Furfural is industrially produced from hemicellulose-derived pentoses, the production of
furfural from hexoses is technologically challenging. In the present work, modified versions …

Ordered porous silicates of the type TUD-1 and zeolite beta possessing zirconium and
aluminium sites were evaluated as eco-friendly heterogeneous, multifunctional catalysts for …

The one-pot conversion of xylose into GVL in 2-propanol has been achieved over
bifunctional Zr-and Al-containing beta zeolite catalysts, prepared via a post-synthetic route …

The formation of furfural from xylose was investigated under heterogeneously catalyzed
conditions with Starbon® 450-SO 3 H as a catalyst in a biphasic system. Experiments were …
