Supercritical Fluids: A Promising Technique for Biomass Pretreatment and Fractionation
Lignocellulosic biomasses are primarily composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin and these biopolymers are bonded together in a heterogeneous matrix that is highly recalcitrant to chemical or biological conversion processes.

Synthesis, characterization and bio-activity of metal complexes of bidentate N-S isomeric Schiff bases derived from S-methyldithiocarbazate (SMDTC) and the X-ray structure of the bis[S-methyl-β-N-(2-furyl-methylketone) dithiocarbazato]cadmium(II) complex. [PDF]
Condensation of SMDTC with 2-furyl-methylketone and 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde gave isomeric Schiff bases, (NS) and (NS'). The metal complexes of these uninegatively charged bidentate Schiff base ligands with cadmium, tin, iron, lead and cobalt have been ...

Electrocatalytic Glucose Upgrading by Sulfonated Carbon for Sustainable Manufacturing
We are one step closer to sustainable manufacturing after successfully converting glucose into various raw materials (oxalic acid, gluconic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, glycolic acid, arabinose, formic acid, acetic acid, and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural) by electrocatalytic oxidation with a sulfonated carbon catalyst. Abstract In a sustainable economy,
