TL;DR: In contrast to the nonrenewable fossil resources, biomass, the only renewable resource of organic carbon in the nature, is considered as a special kind of inexhaustible feedstocks, which can be used for the synthesis of numerous valuable products in a sustainable manner as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art studies on the hydrolysis of cellulose into glucose over various types of solid acid catalysts such as acid resins, metal oxides, H-form zeolites, heteropoly acids, functionalized silicas, supported metals, immobilized ionic liquids, carbonaceous acids and magnetic acids are systematically summarized.

TL;DR: A review comprehensively summarizes and discusses state-of-the-art advancements of the production of 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF) from HMF via various chemocatalytic pathways.

TL;DR: NH(2)-attapulgite was used to remove reactive dyes in aqueous solution and showed very high adsorption rates of 99.32%, 99.67%, and 96.42% for Reactive Red 3BS, Reactive Blue KE-R and Reactive Black GR, respectively.

TL;DR: The results suggest that chemisorption processes could be the rate-limiting steps in the process of Hg(2+) adsorption.
