The efficient valorization of lignin could dictate the success of the 2nd generation biorefinery.
Lignin, accounting for on average a third of the lignocellulosic biomass, is the most …

Lignocellulosic biomass (LB) pyrolysis and gasification technologies for bio-oil, syngas and
process heat have been widely described, and biochar, as a significant byproduct of LB …

In pursuit of more sustainable and competitive biorefineries, the effective valorisation of
lignin is key. An alluring opportunity is the exploitation of lignin as a resource for chemicals …

Recently, there is an upsurge interest of using biomass derived char products in various
fields, in order to address some of the most urgent energy and environmental problems we …

Biomass is any organic matter that is renewable over time. In the context of energy, this is
often used to mean plant-based materials, such as agricultural residues, forestry wastes …

Biomass is increasingly perceived as a renewable resource rather than as an organic solid
waste today, as it can be converted to various chemicals, biofuels, and solid biochar using …

Lignin is a major component of lignocellulosic biomass and as such, it is processed in
enormous amounts in the pulp and paper industry worldwide. In such industry it mainly …

Our severe dependence on fossil resources for the production of fuels and chemicals is
responsible for two major global challenges: declining the fuel supply and increasing the …

Among the serious global issues facing mankind at present are climate change and
environmental pollution. Directly linked to these is the increasing demand to discover …

In this paper we study the co-feeding of olefins (ethylene and propylene) with a series of
furanic compounds (furan, 2-methylfuran, furfural, and furfuryl alcohol) over ZSM-5 catalyst …
