The upcycling of agricultural waste (AW) into monomers and additives for biopolymers/
biocomposites production can contribute to developing sustainable and/or functional …

Soybean straw is an agricultural residue of soybean whose yield is up to 1.5 kg per kg of
soybean. The existing literature shows the vast potential of soybean straw as an …

Levulinic acid (LA) was discovered in 1875 by heating candy with concentrated acid. Since
then, it has been generated in a variety of ways from commercial sugars and their products …

Levulinic acid (LA) holds great significance as a biomass platform chemical in the
production of bio-aviation fuel and the utilization of bioenergy. Heterogeneous acid …

The present study seeks to propose a robust reaction network to determine the kinetic
parameters of the glucose to HMF conversion reaction, via fructose as intermediary, in …

Alcoholysis of ball-milled biomass over catalysts with Brønsted and Lewis acid sites
provides an efficient and sustainable scheme to produce versatile biobased chemicals …

Hydrothermal depolymerization of cellulose has generated tremendous excitement as a
promising pathway to sustainable chemistry. Among these biomass products, levulinic acid …

Valeric acid (VA) and valeric esters (VEs) are among the essential platform chemicals
derived from bio-levulinic acid (LA). However, synthesizing VA from LA is still challenging …

The levulinic acid chemical platform is still unfeasible due to the lack of a cost-competitive
process. Therefore, this work investigates the conversion of sugarcane molasses to levulinic …

A deeper understanding of the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of thermal
degradation of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is fundamental to defining appropriate conditions …
