TL;DR: In this paper, as-synthesized Zr-SBA-15 catalysts with tunable mesoporous structures showed excellent catalytic performance for the conversion of carbohydrates to methyl lactate.

TL;DR: A highly efficient, reversible hydrogen storage-evolution process has been developed based on the ammonium bicarbonate/formate redox equilibrium over the same carbon-supported palladium nanocatalyst and has shown fast reaction kinetics of both the hydrogenation and the dehydrogenation under mild operating conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the ZrO 2 catalyst in the retro-aldol condensation of xylose, as well as the catalyst stability, has been discussed, and the effect of reaction conditions, including temperature, oxygen partial pressure, biomass loading and catalyst loading, etc., on the conversions of hemicellulosic biomass and corresponding yields of lactic acid have been investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the biomass composition of Agave tequilana and Opuntia ficus-indica was analyzed using National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) standard methods.

TL;DR: In this article, a high yield of levulinic acid was produced by directly converting cellulose over a ZrO2 catalyst by a one-pot catalytic aqueous phase partial oxidation (APPO) process.
