Recent approaches to furfural synthesis from hemicellulosic biomass and pentose sugars
with both homogeneous and solid acidic catalysts have been summarized by addressing the …

Diminishing fossil fuel resources and the increasing impact of global climate change have
driven research towards the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass resources as renewable …

Acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, required for bioethanol production, generates
large amounts of by‐products, such as lignin and hydrolyzed hemicellulose fractions, which …

Hydroxyalkylation–alkylation (HAA) coupled with hydrodeoxygenation is a promising route
for the synthesis of renewable high‐quality diesel or jet fuel. In this work, a series of solid …

We report a novel catalytic conversion of biomass‐derived furans and alcohols to aromatics
over zeolite catalysts. Aromatics are formed via Diels–Alder cycloaddition with ethylene …

A simple Pd‐loaded Nb2O5/SiO2 catalyst was prepared for the hydrodeoxygenation of
biomass‐related compounds to alkanes under mild conditions. Niobium oxide dispersed in …

Working with real samples: Aqueous solutions of FeCl 3–NaCl (or seawater) dehydrate
xylose to afford furfural, which can extracted in situ into 2-MTHF as second phase. Furfural is …

Nafion 117 has been proven as a robust and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the
dehydration of 9.1%(w/w) xylose in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to yield 60% furfural in 2 h at …

Abstract Design and synthesis of effective heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of
biomass intermediates into long chain hydrocarbon precursors and their subsequent …

A one‐pot method for the selective production of high‐grade diesel‐range alkanes from
biomass‐derived furfural and 2‐methylfuran (2‐MF) was developed by combining the …
