Adsorption Behavior of Glucosamine-Based, Pyrimidine-Fused Heterocycles as Green Corrosion Inhibitors for Mild Steel: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of electron donating (−CH3 and −OH) and electron withdrawing (−NO2) substituents on the corrosion inhibition efficiency of four glucosamine-based, substituted, pyrimidine-fused heterocycles (CARBs) on mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl have been investigated using gravimetric, electrochemical, surface morphology (SEM, AFM, and EDX), and computational techniques.

Isosorbide as a novel polar head derived from renewable resources. Application to the design of short-chain amphiphiles with hydrotropic properties
TL;DR: The potential use of isosorbide, an original diol readily obtained by the double dehydration of sorbitol, has been investigated for the synthesis of novel amphiphilic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous delignification and selective catalytic transformation of agricultural lignocellulose in cooperative ionic liquid pairs
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient catalytic transformation process for agricultural residual lignocelluloses in cooperative ionic liquid pairs was achieved, where the promotion of the dissolution equilibrium, combined with rapid, in situ acid-catalyzed degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose, resulted in significantly greater conversion of the biomass to biochemicals and selective delignification through further comparative analyses of the raw materials, products and residues by GC-MS, GPC, FT-IR, SEM and elemental characterization.

High yield production and purification of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural
TL;DR: In this article, low boiling point solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF) mixed with DMSO was used for the fructose dehydration and high yield of HMF (98.0%) was still obtained.

Accelerated cellulose depolymerization catalyzed by paired metal chlorides in ionic liquid solvent
Yu Su,Heather M. Brown,Guosheng Li,Xiao Dong Zhou,James E. Amonette,John L. Fulton,Donald M. Camaioni,Z. Conrad Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel catalytic system involving CuCl2 (primary metal chloride) paired with a second metal chloride, such as CrCl2, PdCl2 or FeCl3 in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMIM]Cl) ionic liquid solvent has been found to substantially accelerate the rate of cellulose depolymerization under mild conditions.
