Experimental and modeling studies on the acid-catalyzed conversion of inulin to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in water
(2016-08-31)
Inulin is considered as an attractive feed for the synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF),
an important biobased platform chemical with high application potential. We here report a
systematic study to optimize the ...
Experimental and Modeling Studies on the Conversion of Inulin to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Metal Salts in Water
(2016-08-31)
Inulin, a plant polysaccharide consisting of mainly D-fructose units, is considered
an interesting feed for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a top 12 bio-based chemical. We
here report an exploratory experimental study on ...
Catalytic Conversion of Dihydroxyacetone to Lactic Acid Using Metal Salts in Water
(2016-08-31)
We herein present a study on the application of homogeneous
catalysts in the form of metal salts on the conversion of trioses,
such as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and glyceraldehyde (GLY) to
lactic acid (LA) in water. A ...
