Highlights

  • In recent years, many researchers have contributed to the “Biomass Catalysis” section of the journal Catalysts (MDPI)

  • The economic and environmental sustainability of the industrial synthesis of levulinic acid strongly depend on the adopted starting material, cellulose-rich raw or waste biomasses being preferred in the recent research [13]

  • Raw wood samples were subjected to a preliminary aqueous treatment to remove water-soluble valuable extractives and hemicelluloses, the resulting solid was employed as a substrate for the production of levulinic and formic acid by acid-catalyzed conversion

Summary

Introduction

Many researchers have contributed to the “Biomass Catalysis” section of the journal Catalysts (MDPI). The hydrogenation of furfural allows for the production of several biofuels and biobased fuel additives including (tetrahydro)furfuryl alcohol, 2-methyl(tetrahydro)furan, levulinates and diols.
