I and i
TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Production of biofuels, limonene and pectin from citrus wastes.
Mohammad Pourbafrani,Gergely Forgács,Gergely Forgács,Ilona Sárvári Horváth,Claes Niklasson,Mohammad J. Taherzadeh +5 more
TL;DR: Production of ethanol, biogas, pectin and limonene from citrus wastes (CWs) by an integrated process was investigated and the best sugar yield was obtained by dilute-acid hydrolysis at 150 degrees C and 6min residence time.

Catalytic Conversion of Fructose, Glucose, and Sucrose to 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural and Levulinic and Formic Acids in γ-Valerolactone As a Green Solvent
Long Qi,Long Qi,Yiu Fung Mui,See Wing Lo,Matthew Y. Lui,Geoffrey R. Akien,Geoffrey R. Akien,István T. Horváth +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conversion of fructose, glucose, and sucrose to 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA/formic acid) was investigated in detail using sulfuric acid as the catalyst and γ-valerolactone (GVL) as a green solvent.

Biomass in the manufacture of industrial products--the use of proteins and amino acids.
TL;DR: The aim of this mini-review is to describe the scope of the possibilities to generate current functionalized chemical materials using amino acids from biomass instead of fossil resources, thereby taking advantage of the biomass structure in a more efficient way than solely utilizing biomass for the production of fuels or electricity.

Levulinic acid esterification with ethanol to ethyl levulinate production over solid acid catalysts
Daniella R. Fernandes,Angela Sanches Rocha,Estevão Frigini Mai,Claudio J. A. Mota,V. Teixeira da Silva +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of two groups of solid acid catalysts (sulfated oxides and zeolites with different pore structures) in the esterification of levulinc acid with ethanol aiming for ethyl levulinate production was explored.
