Integration of Deep Eutectic Solvents and Hydrotalcites for Biomass Conversion and Aldol Condensation: Toward Platform Chemicals and Jet Fuel Synthesis—A Review Open
The abundance and renewability of lignocellulosic biomass have made it a suitable alternative to fossil fuels in the reduction of global warming. The complex nature of the cellulose–hemicellulose–lignin bonds in the biomass makes it diffic…

Current progress on lignocellulosic bioethanol including a technological and economical perspective Open
Growing interest in lignocellulosic bioethanol stems from the European Union's renewable energy directive, targeting a global bioethanol output of 130 billion L to achieve a minimum threshold of 42.5%. Despite industrialization challenges,…

Biorefinery design with combined deacetylation and microwave pretreatment for enhanced production of polyhydroxyalkanoates and efficient carbon utilization from lignocellulose Open
Lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a sustainable and economically viable feedstock for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production. However, it has seldom been used as part of an integrated process for effective carbon utilization. An innova…

Ni-Mg/Al Mixed Oxides Prepared from Layered Double Hydroxides as Catalysts for the Conversion of Furfural to Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol Open
Ni-Mg/Al mixed oxide catalysts (Ni2Al, Ni2Mg1Al, and Ni1Mg1Al) obtained from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were tested on the one-pot production of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (TFA) from furfural (FF). Upon calcination at 400 °C and redu…

Ni-Cu/Al2O3 from Layered Double Hydroxides Hydrogenates Furfural to Alcohols Open
The hydrogenation of furfural is an important process in the synthesis of bio-based chemicals. Copper-based catalysts favor the hydrogenation of furfural to alcohols. Catalytic activity and stability were higher at a Ni-to-Cu atomic ratio …

Biomass to hydrogen via fast pyrolysis and catalytic steam reforming Open
Fast pyrolysis of biomass results in a pyrolytic oil which is a mixture of (a) carbohydrate-derived acids, aldehydes and polyols, (b) lignin-derived substituted phenolics, and (c) extractives-derived terpenoids and fatty acids. The convers…
