Lignocellulosic biomasses are strongly connected composites of cellulose, hemicelluloses,
and lignin. A pretreatment is required in order to make these components available for their …

Lignocelluloses are often a major or sometimes the sole components in different waste
streams from various sources such as industries, forestry, agriculture and municipalities. It …

The use of renewable sources for obtainment of chemicals, biofuels, materials and energy
has become each time larger due to environmental, political and economical problems of …

A new approach to increase furfural production and minimize cellulose destruction has been
proposed as an alternative to the conventional dilute acid process. The new method uses …

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is a crucial step for the production of sugars and
biobased platform chemicals. Pretreatment experiments in a semi-continuous plant with …

Biobased production of furfural has been known for decades. Nevertheless, bioeconomy
and circular economy concepts is much more recent and has motivated a regain of interest …

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is an abundant renewable energy resource. Hence, the
conversion of biomass into fuel and platform chemicals has recently attracted considerable …

Furans represent one of the most important classes of intermediates in the conversion of non-
edible lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based chemicals and fuels. At present, bio-furan …

Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is one of the most promising biomass derived platform
chemicals. It can be synthesized from biomass carbohydrates, mainly glucose and fructose …

This article reviews a number of processes in which lignocellulose or sugars are converted
into useful chemicals. Catalytic pyrolysis of lignocellulose yields mixtures of hydrocarbons …
