Over the last century, the world has become increasingly dependent on oil as its main
source of chemicals and energy. Driven largely by the strong economic growth of India and …

Effectively converting renewable biomass resources into valuable chemicals is a very
promising and fascinating approach to lower the overreliance on non-renewable fossil …

5-(Hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) and levulinic acid production from glucose in a cascade of
reactions using a Lewis acid (CrCl3) catalyst together with a Brønsted acid (HCl) catalyst in …

The quest to achieve a sustainable supply of both energy and chemicals is one of the great
challenges of this century. 5-(Hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF), the long-known dehydration …

The proposed study tries to reply on one important question concerning glucose
dehydration: What is the role of bare or tandem Lewis/Brønsted acid sites in the reaction and …

We demonstrate a process to produce levoglucosenone (LGO) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural
(HMF) from cellulose in up to 65% carbon yield using sulfuric acid as catalyst and a solvent …

Biomass conversion to chemicals and fuels has been epitomized by batch processing and
long reaction times that limit the economic viability of future biorefineries and prevent …

In this research, the influence of several factors such as reaction time, catalyst weight,
temperature and different solvents on dehydration reaction of fructose and glucose to 5 …

The effect of salts and Brønsted acids on the Lewis acid (CrCl3⋅ 6 H2O)‐catalyzed glucose
dehydration to 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in aqueous media are described. We show …

Process design and techno-economic evaluation of glucose isomerization on Sn-Beta
require reliable catalytic reaction rate expressions and kinetic constants. Here, the …
