Green and sustainable manufacture of chemicals from biomass: state of the art
TL;DR: In this article, various strategies for the valorisation of waste biomass to platform chemicals, and the underlying developments in chemical and biological catalysis which make this possible, are critically reviewed, and three possible routes for producing a bio-based equivalent of the large volume polymer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are delineated.

Dissolution of Cellose with Ionic Liquids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that cellulose can be dissolved without activation or pretreatment in, and regenerated from, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and other hydrophilic ionic liquids.

Mechanisms of catalyst deactivation
TL;DR: The literature treating mechanisms of catalyst deactivation is reviewed in this paper, which can be classified into six distinct types: (i) poisoning, (ii) fouling, (iii) thermal degradation, (iv) vapor compound formation accompanied by transport, (v) vapor solid and/or solid solid reactions, and (vi) attrition/crushing.

Production of dimethylfuran for liquid fuels from biomass-derived carbohydrates
TL;DR: This catalytic strategy for the production of 2,5-dimethylfuran from fructose (a carbohydrate obtained directly from biomass or by the isomerization of glucose) for use as a liquid transportation fuel may diminish the authors' reliance on petroleum.
