Journal ArticleDOI
Factors governing dissolution process of lignocellulosic biomass in ionic liquid: current status, overview and challenges.
TL;DR: In this review, the state-of-art for the dissolution of lignocellulosic material in representative ILs is discussed and various process parameters and their influence for biomass dissolution were reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on catalytic synthesis of energy rich fuel additive levulinate compounds from biomass derived levulinic acid
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical evaluation of progressing research linked to potential applications of the levulinate compounds, market scenario of the synthesis, different catalytic pathways, mechanistic approach to synthesize and use of various catalysts to obtain the levulinates, fuel blending properties of the compounds, and advantages of the product as a fuel blender is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilization of Candida cylindracea lipase on poly lactic acid, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan based ternary blend film: Characterization, activity, stability and its application for N-acylation reactions
TL;DR: Interestingly, immobilized lipase showed fivefold higher catalytic activity and better thermal stability than the crude extract lipase CCL, and the biocatalyst was efficiently recycled for four successive reuses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-chemical energy assessment for production of energy-rich fuel additive compounds by using levulinic acid and immobilized lipase
TL;DR: In this article, an enzymatic synthesis of various levulinates in non-aqueous media providing up to 94-99% yield at 45°C was investigated, which offers several advantages over conventional chemical synthesis such as mild reaction conditions, low energy requirements, minimal waste-disposal, easy down-streaming and biocatalyst reusability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of geranyl acetate in non-aqueous media using immobilized Pseudomonas cepacia lipase on biodegradable polymer film: Kinetic modelling and chain length effect study
TL;DR: The kinetic study showed that reaction followed ternary-complex mechanism with inhibition by geraniol, indicating better catalytic efficiency of immobilized lipase.
