Herein, we deliberate the recent progress and innovative modifications which were carried
out during the last ten years as commonly employed methods for the conversion of biomass …

Biorefineries, which utilize lignocellulosic biomass as renewable energy source and
sustainable carbon feedstock, are a promising solution to alleviate the excessive …

Furfural is a vital biomass-derived platform molecule, which can be used to synthesize a
wide range of value-added chemicals. Furfural and its derivatives are promising alternatives …

Catalytic reactions involve the direct interaction of reactants, intermediates and products with
the catalyst surface. We not only need to control the atomic structure and electronic …

hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a value-added platform chemical, is used as a “bridge”
between biomass raw materials and industrial application products in the process of …

Chitin hydrolysis is an important but challenging reaction for shell biorefineries. In this study,
we devised a mild aging-hydrolysis integrated approach to selectively produce N-acetyl-D …

At present, there is a lack of green protocols to hydrolyze chitin into its monomer using a
chemical approach. In this study, we establish acidified lithium halide molten salt hydrate …

This mini-review briefly describes the recent progress in the design and development of
catalysts based on the presence of ionic liquids. In particular, the focus was on …

Conversion of glucose to 5-hydromethyl furfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA) was
systematically investigated in LiCl· 3H 2 O without additional catalyst. Based on the …

Herein, we reported a facile and efficient process for synthesis of furfural (FAL) from xylan in
biphasic system. The excellent performance of more than 99.9% conversion of xylan with …
