Catalytic Transformations of Sustainable and Versatile Furanic Chemicals
About this book
Diminishing confined fossil resources has spurred the scientific community to strive for alternative, sustainable resources, such as terrestrial biomass, which can potentially substitute fossil-based derivatives. Lignocellulosic biomass is deemed an indispensable carbon source for meeting industrial and social demands regarding energy/fuels and chemicals. Over the past decade, significant advances have been shown in developing a broad spectrum of high-value chemicals and functional materials derived from biomass-based substrates. In connection with this, furanic chemicals, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural, have recently received considerable attention due to their potential applications.
Catalytic Transformations of Sustainable and Versatile Furanic Chemicals aims to explicitly display the latest technical developments on designing functional catalysts, optimizing process and reaction parameters, and improving the stability of the employed materials on the transformation of HMF and furfural to a wide range of value-added chemicals via oxidation, reduction, hydrodeoxygenation, and reductive amination processes.
Features:
- Highlighting the importance and significance of HMF and furfural.
- Evaluating the transformations of HMF and furfural with various catalytic processes.
- Designing robust and efficient catalytic systems.
- Understanding the stability of catalytic materials.
- Understanding the characteristic features of the catalytic materials.
This book aims to target not only researchers focusing on biomass valorization from academic to industrial sectors but also graduate students interested in pursuing their higher education in biochemicals (especially furanic compounds), covering various aspects in organic synthesis routes, preparation of inorganic materials and physico-chemical properties, for both chemists and chemical engineers.
