Journal ArticleDOI

Production of furfural and carboxylic acids from waste aqueous hemicellulose solutions from the pulp and paper and cellulosic ethanol industries

TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage process consisting of the hydrolysis of xylose oligomers followed by the dehydration of Xylose monomers and then extraction of the furfural into an organic solvent is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of jet and diesel fuel range alkanes from waste hemicellulose-derived aqueous solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel four-step process for the production of jet and diesel fuel range alkanes from hemicellulose extracts derived from northeastern hardwood trees was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of renewable petroleum refinery diesel and jet fuel feedstocks from hemicellulose sugar streams

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate how hemicellulose-derived C5 sugars can be converted into a high-quality petroleum refinery feedstock by a four-step catalytic process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetics and reaction engineering of levulinic acid production from aqueous glucose solutions.

TL;DR: The model is used to predict the optimal reactor design and operating conditions for HMF and levulinic acid production in a continuous reactor system and shows a higher performance than a PFR and CSTR combination but there is no distinct advantage to implement a system of two consecutive reactors.
