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 …

Hemicellulose is one of the main components of lignocellulose, and xylan and xylose are
polysaccharides and monosaccharides that account for a high proportion of hemicellulose …

The production of furfuryl alcohol (FFA) from biomass-derived furfural (FF) via selective
hydrogenation is challenging due to the diverse unsaturated groups. Herein, a novel …

Abstract γ-Valerolactone (GVL) or 1, 4-pentanediol (1, 4-PDO) are the value-added
chemicals, selectivities of which from conversion of levulinic acid/ester depend on balanced …

Raney Ni is a class of fine-grained heterogeneous catalysts composed mostly of nickel that
is widely applied in organic synthesis and a large number of industry processes. In the past …

Herein, we offer some perspective on the metamorphosis that has already begun to take
place in substantial parts of the chemical industry, ie, a switch from traditional resources …

The progress of versatile chemicals and bio-based fuels using renewable biomass has
gained ample importance. Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural are biomass-derived …

As one of the substitutes for traditional fossil energy, the biomass resource has attracted
extensive attention. Levulinate esters (LEs) are important green and high value-added …

Abstract Converting carbohydrates into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is an attractive and
promising route for value-added utilization of agricultural and forestry biomass resource. As …

The decrease in fossil fuel usage and the projected 28% increase in the global energy
demand by 2040 are calling for advanced methods to convert modern biomass into fine …
