Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant carbon source and it is a base of the whole
biorefinery concept. Levoglucosan (1, 6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose)(LG) is an anhydrous …

Biomass is the most abundant and renewable carbon resource with great potential to
replace traditional fossil fuels in the production of high-value organic acids, which can be …

Chemocatalytic production of lactic acid from biomass feedstock is an alternative route with
high potential, but with the prerequisites of long reaction time, high temperature, and/or a …

Conversion of largely abundant glucose to other commercially important sugars has
attracted worldwide attention from both academia and industry. As one of the most important …

Beta zeolite modified with Sn in the framework (Sn-Beta) was synthesized and introduced as
a heterogeneous catalyst for Baeyer–Villiger oxidations about twenty years ago. Since then …

In this work, a new type of modified β zeolites with rare earth elements (ree) was discovered
for producing lactic acid from glucose and achieved a good catalytic effect. At first, the …

A novel catalyst prepared by a facile 'one-pot'solvothermal method was developed for the
efficient production of lower polyols from glucose solution. Under the optimal reaction …

Sugars produced from lignocellulose hydrolyzate are usually a mixture, of which glucose
and xylose are the most abundant. Herein, a bifunctional solid catalyst (Mg-Sn-Beta zeolite) …

Acrylonitrile (ACN) is one of the most important industrial intermediates for the production of
a variety of commodities that are intertwined with our daily life. Currently, ACN is mainly …

Multifunctional heteroatom zeolites have drawn broad attentions due to the possible
synergistic effects in the catalytic reactions. Remarkable achievements have been made on …
