Transformation of biomass to chemicals and fuels is a long-term goal in both science and
industry. However, high cost is one of the major obstacles to the industrialization of this …

Introduced in the literature in 1913 by Bergius, who at the time was studying biomass
coalification, hydrothermal carbonisation, as many other technologies based on renewables …

A two-step process combining the (equilibrium) glucose isomerization to fructose with
selective dehydration of fructose in the obtained sugar mixture to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural …

Biomass‐derived hexose constitutes the main component of lignocellulosic biomass for
producing value‐added chemicals and biofuels. However, the reaction network of hexose is …

We performed a systematic experimental kinetics study on AlCl3-catalyzed conversion of
glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in NaCl–H2O/tetrahydrofuran (THF) biphasic …

The growing interest in biomass as a renewable feedstock drives research toward
innovative processes and performance-advantaged bioproducts. Homogeneous metal salt …

The hydrothermal dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a promising
platform chemical from renewable resources, is commonly known to be Brønsted acid …

The severe formation of humins during the conversion of high-concentration fructose is a
crucial bottleneck restricting the large-scale production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) with hydrothermal (HT) pretreatment is an emerging technology for
enhanced resource recovery from sewage sludge. This study investigates the speciation of …

With limited current biomass utilization as a renewable resource, it is important to develop a
method to convert biomass into materials to replace fossil fuel products. In this article, lignin …
