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

Ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) is one of the most widely used acrylates in the polymer industry,
which is synthesized via Fisher esterification that is limited by chemical equilibrium. To …

The synthesis of long-chain esters in reactive extraction using bifunctional deep eutectic
solvent (DES) demands a wide solvent selection range and optimal solvent choice. In this …

For long-chain ester formation, reactive extraction intensified by a bifunctional solvent is a
proper process concept as the product ester is usually not soluble in water. To screen a …

Imidazole (Im) and benzenesulfonic acid (BSA) formed deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were
used as acidic catalyst and solvent for the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural …

Methyl ethyl carbonate (EMC) is the primary raw material for the electrolyte of lithium-ion
batteries. It is mainly prepared by the transesterification reaction of dimethyl carbonate …

Separation of components of light cycle oil (LCO) into aromatic-rich and nonaromatic-rich
fractions is the essential step for upgrading LCO to produce benzene, toluene, xylene …

For the first time, we employed the halogen-free deep eutectic solvent (DES) into the
Knoevenagel condensation between aromatic aldehydes and active methylene compounds …

The chemical industry makes extensive use of solvents in both reaction and separation
processes. The large number of existing and potentially new solvents calls for systematic …

Butyl hexanoate (BuHE) is an important long-chain ester that is widely used in the food,
beverage and cosmetic industries. In this work, reactive extraction concept was proposed to …
