A stable, low-cost, and reusable Co nanoparticles catalyst imbedded in nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (Co@C-N) for selective catalytic hydrogenation (CHG) of furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) has been exploited. The catalyst is directly derived from 2-methylimidazole modified ZIF-67 MOFs...

Alkanolysis had become the promising approach for extracting organic compounds of lignocellulosic biomass, but its effect on the pyrolysis properties of biomass received little attention. In this context, the influence of methanolysis pretreatment on the physical-chemical structure variation,...

In this paper, two flexible regulation systems were designed and used for the integrated catalytic hydrolysis of lignocellulose to valuable oxygenated organic chemicals. Under the dual constraints of initial H2 pressure (IHP) and temperature, three crop stalks with highly complex structures can...

The catalytic hydroliquefaction of Xiaolongtan lignite (XL, a Chinese lignite) was investigated in a batch autoclave. The effects of reaction temperature, time and initial H2 pressure on the yields of gaseous and extractable portions (GEPs) were discussed. The catalytic activity of FeS+S was...

Dehydrated Xilinhaote lignite (XL) and Huolinguole lignite (HL) were depolymerized in supercritical methanol at 310°C and the resulting soluble reaction mixtures were analyzed with GC/MS. The results show that the GC/MS-detectable species can be classified into hydroxybenzenes (HBs), esters,...

Cornstalk was depolymerized in supercritical methanol and ethanol, respectively. The depolymerization products were analyzed with FTIR and GC/MS. The results show that the products can be classified into methyl esters and dimethyl diesters, ethyl esters and diethyl phthalate, hydroxybenzenes and...
