MPV Reduction of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol on Mg, Zr, Ti, Zr–Ti, and Mg–Ti Solids: Influence of Acid–Base Properties
(MDPI, 2018)
The Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reaction is an environmentally-friendly process consisting of the reduction of a carbonyl compound through hydrogen transfer from a secondary alcohol. This work deals with MPV reduction ...
Versatile Sulfathiazole-Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles as Catalyst in Oxidation and Alkylation Reactions
(MDPI, 2019)
Catalyst design and surface modifications of magnetic nanoparticles have become attractive strategies in order to optimize catalyzed organic reactions for industrial applications. In this work, silica-coated magnetic ...
BPPO-Based Anion Exchange Membranes for Acid Recovery via Diffusion Dialysis
(MDPI, 2017)
To reduce the environmental impact of acids present in various industrial wastes,
improved and robust anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are highly desired. Moreover, they should
exhibit high retention of salts, fast acid ...
Development of ’Lignin-First’ Approaches for the Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass
(MDPI, 2020)
Currently, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass almost exclusively focuses on the production of pulp, paper, and bioethanol from its holocellulose constituent, while the remaining lignin part that comprises the highest ...
