The current reliance on limited petrochemical resources and the resulting ecological outcomes have made the exploration of alternative chemical and energy feedstocks invaluable. As such, the development of sustainable processes with a less harmful total en ...
Lignin is a promising candidate for the replacement of fossil-based materials, due to its natural abundance and aromatic structure. This same structure poses major challenges to lignin's exploitation for material development. The harsh conditions generally ...
A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple sugars, and lignin to phenolic monomers. However, reactive intermediates, generally ...
The condensation sink is a measure of the sulfuric acid lifetime against condensation on preexisting aerosol particles. Dimensionally it is the inverse of a time (reported in per second) and it is calculated starting from the aerosol size distribution. A l ...
Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...
The transformation of lignin-derived phenolic compds. to alkanes was achieved using catalysts based on Bronsted acidic ionic liqs. (ILs). The catalytic system is composed of metal nanoparticles (NPs) and a functionalized Bronsted acidic IL immobilized in a ...
