TL;DR: Analysis of reaction pathways for a variety of chemical structures formed from levulinic acid and itaconic acid as platform chemicals in a cellulose-based supply chain, which exemplifies how a diverse range of highly attractive products and building blocks could be derived from Levulinicacid (LA), which is accessible from wood-based feedstocks, and itaconsic acid, which can be obtained from green biomass.

TL;DR: It is shown that the total annualized costs of the novel process are considerably lower compared to the costs of alternative hybrid or pure distillation processes.

TL;DR: This contribution provides a concise introduction into problem formulation and standard numerical techniques commonly found in the context of moving horizon optimization using nonlinear differential algebraic process models.

TL;DR: This paper presents a method for the optimization of dynamic systems using problem-adapted discretizations, based on the direct sequential or single-shooting approach, where the optimization problem is converted into a nonlinear programming problem by parameterization of the control profiles.

TL;DR: This essay redefines PSE as an active and future-proof research field which can play an active role in providing enabling technologies for product and process innovations in the chemical industries and beyond.
