Although carbon itself acts as a catalyst in various reactions, the classical carbon materials
(eg, activated carbons, carbon aerogels, carbon black, carbon fiber, etc.) usually show low …

Butyl levulinate (BL), derived from bio-renewable resources, is a potential blending
molecule for diesel fuel. Thus, essential characteristics such as boiling point, melting point …

Catalytic conversion of biomass and waste into chemicals and fuels is gaining interest to
reach a circular economy. Here, we review carbon-based and carbon-supported …

The emission of carbon monoxide, greenhouse gases (eg, carbon dioxides), hydrocarbon,
and particulate matter can be reduced by applying oxygenated additives as a blend to …

The esterification of furfuryl alcohol with 1-butanol was successfully tested at low initial
butanol/furfuryl alcohol molar ratio values (4 and 8) in the temperature range 80–110° C …

We hydrogenated furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) in water in a reaction
catalyzed by Pd nanoparticles on carbonaceous materials with different morphology and …

The present investigation represents a concrete example of complete valorization of
Eucalyptus nitens biomass, in the framework of the circular economy. Autohydrolyzed …

A series of non-noble metals based titanium dioxide catalysts were synthesized following a
facile sol-gel route. The catalytic performance for direct furfuryl alcohol (FAL) conversion to …

A bio-derived furfuryl alcohol transformation into various high-value chemicals is a growing
