Towards the photophysical studies of humin by-products
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Biomass conversion into chemicals, materials and fuels emerged in the past decade as the most promising alternative to the current petroleum-based industry. However, the chemocatalytic conversion of biomass and bio-derived ...
Benign-by-design preparation of iron oxides/humins catalytic nanocomposites
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
The current acid-catalyzed conversion of biomass feedstocks yields substantial quantities of undesired by-products called humins, for which applications are yet to be found. This work aims to provide a starting point for ...
Catalytic insights into the production of biomass-derived side products methyl levulinate, furfural and humins
(Elsevier, 2017)
Biomass conversion into useful chemicals, materials and fuels emerged as a promising alternative toward replacing the current production of most of these commodities and specialty products from petroleum feedstocks. ...
Valorisation of humins-extracted 5-Methoxymethylfurfural: towards high added value furanics via continuous flow catatalytic hydrogenation
(ACS Publications, 2019)
The formation of humins is one drawback of biomass valorization (e.g. hemicellulosic fraction) towards platform chemicals and fuels. Furanic compounds including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 5-methoxymethylfurfural can be ...
The dark side of biomass valorization: A laboratory experiment to understand humins formation, catalysis and green chemistry
(ACS Publications, 2019)
This laboratory experiment introduces students to an important reaction in biomass valorization and allows them to gain a practical understanding of green chemistry. Acid-catalyzed dehydration reactions of fructose to ...
Green Chemistry and Catalysis united: The emergence of nanocatalysis
(Springer, 2018)
Biomass promises: A bumpy road to a renewable economy
(Bentham Science Publisher, 2018)
Biomass conversion strategies have been taking hold of the scientific community agenda in the evolution of renewable chemical and energy industries. Nonetheless, biomass conversion yet presents challenges due to its ...
Reconstruction of humins formation mechanism from decomposition products: A GC-MS study based on catalytic continuous flow depolymerizations
(Elsevier, 2019)
Humins, a by-product of biomass chemical conversion technologies, still present controversies in their structural and mechanistic identification. Traditional studies of the structure and mechanism have focused so far on ...
