Currently, the development of alternative and green energy sources has been being strongly
pushed aiming to recoup the lack of fossil energy, to meet the ever-increasing demand of …

Ongoing progress in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and catalysis continues to
produce a diverse array of advanced biofuels with complex molecular structure and …

There is growing interest in the use of furans, a class of alternative fuels derived from
biomass, as transportation fuels. This paper reviews recent progress in the characterization …

Furanoids are a class of reactive volatile organic compounds that are major products from
the pyrolysis and combustion of biomass polymers, including cellulose, hemicellulose, and …

The atmospheric oxidation mechanism of furan and methylfurans (MFs) initiated by OH
radicals is studied using high-level quantum chemistry and kinetic calculations. The reaction …

Furans are promising second generation biofuels with comparable energy densities to
conventional fossil fuels. Combustion of furans is initiated and controlled to a large part by …

In this work, we have evaluated the influence of temperature and pressure on the
mechanism of furan oxidation by the OH radical. The stationary points on the potential …

This study presents the first high-temperature measurements of cyclopentene+ OH→ k 1
Products reaction over 856–1258 K and 1.03–4.33 bar. The determined rate coefficients of k …

Rate coefficients, k1, for the gas‐phase OH radical reaction with the heterocyclic ether
C4H4O (1, 4‐epoxybuta‐1, 3‐diene, furan) were measured over the temperature range 273 …

Oxidation of furan-based biofuels in the atmosphere and combustion are mainly initiated by
reactions with small radicals (eg OH radical), the kinetics of which are crucial to obtain a …
