Lignin solubility in non-imidazolium ionic liquids
Daan Glas,Charlie Van Doorslaer,Daphne Depuydt,Falk Liebner,Thomas Rosenau,Koen Binnemans,Dirk De Vos +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of ammonium, phosphonium and pyrrolidinium based ionic liquids were screened for lignin dissolution and the results showed that the ionic liquid could be recycled without loss in lignosulfonate dissolving ability.

Catalytic Transformation of Biomass Derivatives to Value-Added Chemicals and Fuels in Continuous Flow Microreactors
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of microreactors for the catalytic conversion of biomass derivatives to value-added chemicals and fuels is critically reviewed, where the authors focus on the biphasic synthesis of furans from sugars, oxidation and hydrogenation of the biomass derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elephant grass biorefineries: towards a cleaner Brazilian energy matrix?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze if converting a biomass power plant based on elephant grass into a biorefinery adds value to the project and if the proposed bio-finery is economically feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI
High conversion of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using hydrochloric acid as a catalyst and sodium chloride as a promoter in a water/γ-valerolactone system
TL;DR: In this article, different mineral acids (HCl and H2SO4) were used as the catalyst and different salts being used as reaction promoter for the synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis
Susan Solomon,Dahe Qin,Martin R. Manning,Melinda Marquis,Kristen Averyt,Melinda M.B. Tignor,H. L. Miller,Z. Chen +7 more
TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.
Ye Sun,Jiayang Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

Fast pyrolysis processes for biomass
TL;DR: Fast pyrolysis for production of liquids has developed considerably since the first experiments in the late 1970s as mentioned in this paper, leading to significant advances in process development and a wide range of reactor configurations that have been developed to meet the stringent requirements for high yields of useful liquids, for use as a fuel in boilers, engines and turbines and as a source of chemical commodities.
