Abstract

The conversion of naturally occurring organic substances into value-added platform chemicals by simple, green and efficient procedures represents one of the most accessible and sought after routes towards sustainable chemistry....

Deep eutectic solvents for catalytic biodiesel production from liquid biomass and upgrading of solid biomass into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

“…Accordingly, a promising method is to use green and biodegradable DESs with high solubility and specific active sites as a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative; DESs show great advantages in upgrading carbohydrates (monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides) to HMF, and specifically, DESs show good solubility for reaction substrates and can provide sufficient active sites to improve the final yield and purity. [51][52][53] Based on a literature search, Fig. 2(a) and (b) illustrate the growth trend of publications and citations in the field of DESs, biodiesel, and HMF in the past decade, indicating the corresponding great attention received.…”

A multi-walled carbon nanotube-supported acidic ionic liquid catalyst for the conversion of biomass-derived saccharides to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

“…The manufacture of valuable chemicals from biomass has drawn significant attention in the last few decades because of the availability of wood or agricultural residues as renewable resources and an increase in CO 2 emissions related to the consumption of fossil fuels. [1][2][3][4] Among biomass-derived products, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is deemed as a very promising fine chemical. 5,6 It is an outstanding starting material for producing biofuels and a wide range of chemicals utilized in the polymer, pharmaceutical, and plastic industries.…”

Direct Production of Furfural from Fructose Catalyzed by Iron(III) Sulfate Using a Simple Distillation Apparatus

“…1 The cellulosic biomass together with the abundant natural resources has played a driving role in this transformation process. 2 Furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) are the progenitors of renewable molecules, because the broadest range of applications has branched out from these two. 3,4 Furfural is used for the production of renewable fuel, 5 pharmaceuticals, 6 polymers, 7 and so on.…”
