A Mechanochemical Kolbe–Schmitt Reaction: Catechol Carboxylation Provides Building Blocks for Renewable Plasticizers

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 12, 16 March 2026.
A mechanochemical Kolbe–Schmitt reaction of disodium catecholate enables the synthesis of mono‐ and dicarboxylated catechols at low temperature and CO2 pressure. Directly derivatizing the resulting carboxylic acid and phenolic moieties in the obtained mixture provides plasticizer blends with efficiencies competitive to commercial benchmarks.

Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1656-1676, April 2026.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Techno‐economic analysis for hydroxy acids production from waste cellulose via alkaline digestion

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 904-914, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Alkaline digestion offers a promising route for converting low‐grade cellulosic wastes into valuable hydroxy carboxylic acids (HAs). However, the feasibility of producing HAs at process scale, particularly the influence of reactor design on product yields, energy demand, and production costs, remains less explored.
