Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a green catalyst that has a wide range of applications in catalysis
due to its high flexibility and multifunctionality. These properties allow HAP to accommodate …

Extensive consumption of limited fossil fuel resources generates serious environmental
problems, such as release of large amounts of the greenhouse gas CO2. It is, therefore …

We propose a novel strategy for the synthesis of pyruvic acid from bio-lactic acid in air.
Polyvinylpyrrolidone can regulate the growth of the crystal face and formation of oxygen …

Chemical syntheses of industrially important olefins and unsaturated oxygenates from
biomass are reviewed. Their syntheses are discussed in two aspects: common key reactions …

Sustainable production of pyruvic acid was investigated in the presence of MoO 3 catalyst
through oxidative dehydrogenation of lactic acid with air as oxidizing agent. α-MoO 3 can be …

This study investigates the effects of reaction variables (including space velocity,
temperature, and partial pressures of LA and H2O) and acidic and basic additives on the …

Acrylic acid, conventionally produced via propylene (non‐renewable fossil fuel route), is an
industrially important chemical. The bio‐based feedstock process employing glycerol (a by …

Conversion of glycerol to acrylic acid represents an emerging application in transforming
waste biomass to valuable products in chemical industry. However, achieving almost perfect …

Abstract Development of high-performance heterogeneous catalysts for the selective
oxidation of ethyl lactate (EL) to ethyl pyruvate (EP) is very important in the field of …

Abstract Dehydration of biomass-derived 1, 4-butanediol (1, 4-BDO) is an attractive
approach to synthesizing 1, 3-butadiene (BD), which is a useful monomer for various …
