A comparative study of water-immiscible organic solvents in the production of furfural from xylose and birch hydrolysate
(2019-04-25)
Article
Open AccessFurfural (FUR) was produced from xylose using a biphasic batch reaction system. Water-immiscible organic solvents such as isophorone, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) and cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) were used to promptly ... -
Fast furfural formation from xylose using solid acid catalysts assisted by a microwave reactor
(2018-12-15)
Article
Open AccessThe production of furfural (FUR) from xylose was carried out using sulfated zirconia (SZ) on cordierite, alumina on cordierite and commercially-available polymeric solid catalysts (Amberlyst DT and Nafion NR40) to provide ... -
Furfural production from xylose and birch hydrolysate liquor in a biphasic system and techno-economic analysis
(Springer, 2020-04-01)
Article
Open AccessFurfural has been highlighted as one of the top ten most rewarding bio-based building blocks by the US Department of Energy. In this study, furfural was produced from xylose and birch hydrolysate liquor employing a batch ... -
Furfural production in a biphasic system using a carbonaceous solid acid catalyst
(2019-09-05)
Article
Open AccessThe formation of furfural from xylose was investigated under heterogeneously catalyzed conditions with Starbon®450-SO3H as a catalyst in a biphasic system. Experiments were performed based on a statistical experimental ... -
Recent advances in the catalytic production of platform chemicals from holocellulosic biomass
(2019-04-18)
Article
Open AccessThis Review discusses novel catalytic pathways of lignocellulosic biomass to value-added chemicals including biomass-derived sugar alcohols, organic acids, furans and biohydrocarbons. These production approaches are ...
