“…20,161 Consequently, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications reporting on the production of furfural, HMF and LA from biomass. [175][176][177] Recently, particular emphasis has been placed on MA-HTT, as a rapid efficient and selective heating approach, to increase the yield of biomass dehydration products from carbohydrates and the specificity of isomerisation reactions for the production of these compounds. 178 The effects of the most crucial MA-HTT processing conditions reported in the literature affecting the yields and purities of these products are summarised as follows.…”

Sustainable Utilization of Biomass Refinery Wastes for Accessing Activated Carbons and Supercapacitor Electrode Materials

et al. 2018

Biomass processing wastes (humins) are anticipated to become a large-tonnage solid waste in the near future, owing to the accelerated development of renewable technologies based on utilization of carbohydrates. In this work, the utility of humins as a feedstock for the production of activated carbon by various methods (pyrolysis, physical and chemical activation, or combined approaches) was evaluated. The obtained activated carbons were tested as potential electrode materials for supercapacitor applications and demonstrated combined micro- and mesoporous structures with a good capacitance of 370 F g (at a current density of 0.5 A g ) and good cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 92 % after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles (at 10 A g in 6 m aqueous KOH electrolyte). The applicability of the developed activated carbon for practical usage as a supercapacitor electrode material was demonstrated by its successful utilization in symmetric two-electrode cells and by powering electric devices. These findings provide a new approach to deal with the problem of sustainable wastes utilization and to advance challenging energy storage applications.

“…Furthermore, 5‐HMF in the presence of acidic or enzymatic catalysts can react with water to produce levulinic acid, currently seen as one of the most important renewable chemicals globally [60] . Levulinic acid has been used as an alternative fuel and as a reagent to produce chemicals such as γ‐valerolactone, succinic acid, butanone and 5‐nonanone [61–63] .…”

Opportunities for the Use of Brazilian Biomass to Produce Renewable Chemicals and Materials

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This Review highlights the principal crops of Brazil and how their harvest waste can be used in the chemicals and materials industries. The Review covers various plants; with grains, fruits, trees and nuts all being discussed. Native and adopted plants are included and studies on using these plants as a source of chemicals and materials for industrial applications, polymer synthesis, medicinal use and in chemical research are discussed. The main aim of the Review is to highlight the principal Brazilian agricultural resources; such as sugarcane, oranges and soybean, as well as secondary resources, such as andiroba brazil nut, buriti and others, which should be explored further for scientific and technological applications. Furthermore, vegetable oils, carbohydrates (starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignocellulose and pectin), flavones and essential oils are described as well as their potential applications.
