Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is identified as an important bio‐based platform chemical to
bridge petroleum‐based and biomass‐based resources. It can be obtained through …

Aiming to address the mass transfer limitation in biphasic transesterification reactions for
biodiesel production, as well as the poor affinity between conventional catalysts and …

Abstract The use of Fischer-Speier esterification reaction produced biodiesel as a substitute
for fossil fuels has potential to alleviate the climate and energy crisis. However, catalysts for …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as promising green solvents for the separation of
azeotropes. In this work, the efficient separation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) from …

Lignocellulosic biomasses, mainly forestry and agricultural residues, are inexpensive,
available and attractive to reduce the dependence of the world on fossil fuels. However …

To meet the stringent requirements for sulfur content in gasoline, fuel oil desulfurization has
become an indispensable process in petrochemical production. This study aimed to extract …

With the continuous expansion of the global polyester industry chain, the market demand for
p-xylene (PX) as an upstream raw material is becoming increasingly large. In response to …

Homogeneous catalytic esterification reaction of acrylic acid and n-butanol was carried out
in a batch reactor. The impacts of reaction temperatures on the esterification reaction of …

Direct esterification of acrylic acid with 2-ethylhexyl alcohol was investigated using low toxic
and cheap Zn (II) salts as catalysts. An initial screening using Zn (ClO 4) 2, ZnCl 2, Zn (OAc) …

In the production of cyclohexene by benzene hydrogenation, the by-product cyclohexane
forms an azeotrope with cyclohexene. For the extraction and distillation of the binary …
