The chemical industry is increasingly looking to develop bio-based alternatives to petroleum-
based platform chemicals, in order to reduce dependence on diminishing fossil resources …

Catalytic conversion of renewable biomass to “green” chemicals and fuel additives has been
extensively investigated in the past few decades. Interests on two top platform intermediates …

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 …

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a high‐value platform chemical derived from renewable
resources. In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to produce HMF also at …

Humins (HMs) play a very important role in various environmental processes and are crucial
for regulating global carbon and nitrogen cycles in various ecosystems. Composting is a …

The formation of dark-colored solids, as known as humins, was observed during acid-
catalyzed dehydration of certain biomass platform molecules like fructose, glucose and 5 …

Transforming lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals has been intensely studied in
recent years. A large amount of work has been dedicated to finding suitable solvent systems …

We apply ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Dynamic Light
Scattering (DLS) experiments to investigate the molecular structure, morphology and growth …

This study aims to assess the roles of different humin and heavy-metal resistant bacterial
community from composting on heavy metal removal. The results showed that the …

Lignocellulosic fractionation is highly desirable for the efficient transformation of polymeric
sugars into renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials. Thus, γ-valerolactone (GVL) has …
