TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the production of furfural directly from hemicellulose in lignocellulosic biomass with special emphasis on achieving the effective utilization of hemicellocellulose.

TL;DR: A systematic investigation of the interaction of microwave irradiation with microcrystalline cellulose has been carried out, covering a broad temperature range, and the degree of freedom of the cellulose enclosed CH2OH groups was found to be crucial.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wood waste-derived biochar was developed as a sustainable graphitic carbon catalyst for environmental remediation through catalytic pyrolysis under the synergistic effects between Cu heteroatoms and CO2, which for the first time are found to significantly enhance the oxygen functionalities, defective sites, and highly ordered sp2-hybridized carbon matrix.

TL;DR: The present study systematically summarizes the far‐reaching and state‐of‐the‐art lignin valorization strategies during different stages, including conventional catalytic depolymerization of technical lign in, emerging reductive catalytic fractionation of protolignin, stabilization strategies to inhibit the undesired condensation reactions, and further catalytic upgrading of lignIn‐derived monomers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main reactions occurring in HTC, characterization of HTC-AP, and factors affecting the compositions of HTH-AP are summarized, and the main challenges for future research on HTHAP have been identified and possible solutions are given.
