In the search of alternative resources to make commodity chemicals and transportation fuels
for a low carbon future, lignocellulosic biomass with over 180-billion-ton annual production …

Biomass has been long exploited as an anthropogenic energy source; however, the 21st
century challenges of energy security and climate change are driving resurgence in its …

Mono-functional catalytic materials are used for many types of chemical transformations, but
are tedious for delivering products from multiple-step reactions required for the valorization …

This article reviews the recent advances in the development of zeolite catalysts for biomass
valorization processes to produce both biofuels and/or bio-based chemicals, which is an …

Sorbitol, which is a six carbon polyol typically derived from glucose, is widely used in food,
personal care and pharmaceutical products. Sorbitol production processes that use …

In the present study, a facile and one step approach has been developed for the synthesis of
hierarchical porous zeolite-Y using bifunctional cationic polymer, polydiallyldimethyl …

Carbohydrates from terrestrial or marine biomass are the most potential feedstocks for
sustainable refinery industries. Chemo-catalytic conversion of carbohydrates involves …

Biomass-derived carbohydrates (eg, glucose) can be converted into value-added chemicals
such as sorbitol (via hydrogenation) and/or gluconic and glucaric acids (via oxidation) …

Aqueous-phase hydrogenation of d-glucose to d-sorbitol was systematically investigated
over silica-supported Pt nanoparticles to elucidate structure–reactivity relations and …

A mathematical approach and green synthesis were employed to develop high-performance
nanoporous zeolites with a high water vapor sorption capacity and to optimize the synthesis …
