TL;DR: The aim is to provide the tools for understanding how series of parameters involved in the preparation of hydrotalcite-based catalytic materials can be employed to control and adapt the basic properties of the catalyst towards the basicity demanded by each target chemical reaction.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to illustrate the various aspects of upgrading bio-based platform molecules toward commodity or specialty chemicals using new process concepts that fall under the umbrella of continuous flow technology and that could change the future perspectives of biorefineries.

TL;DR: This critical review addresses the application of NHSG to the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts, emphasizing the specificities of this process, and giving a comprehensive overview of the literature.

TL;DR: The main reactions involved in this NHSG process and the characteristics of the resulting mixed oxides are described in the first part of this review, underlining the decisive advantages in terms of simplicity and of control (in terms of composition, homogeneity or texture) offered by this process as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A proof of principle of the projected cascade conversion of lignocellulose feedstock entirely into caprolactone is demonstrated by using Cu/ZrO2 for the dehydrogenation step to produce the resultant cyclohexanones and tin-containing beta zeolite to form 4-alkyl-ε-caprolactones in high yields.
