Enhancing the Wetting Properties of Activated Biochar by Oxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide

open access: yesChemistry
In order to explore the possibilities of increasing the hydrophilicity of carbon-based adsorbents, catalysts, or electrode materials in aqueous solutions, the oxidation of wood-based activated biochar using H2O2 was investigated.

Oxidative Fast Pyrolysis Enabling Autothermal Production of Porous Functionalized Biochar and Anhydrosugar/Phenol‐Rich Bio‐Oil From Biomass

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Oxidative fast pyrolysis of biomass enables autothermal production of value‐added products. ABSTRACT Oxidative fast pyrolysis can potentially overcome the heat‐supply bottleneck of conventional fast pyrolysis by enabling autothermal operation while also tailoring product quality through controlled oxygen addition.

The One‐Step Synthesis of Biologically Active Isochromans from Lignin‐Derived Aromatic Monomers in Tunable Deep Eutectic Solvents

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A straightforward one‐step protocol enables the synthesis of bio‐based and biologically active isochromans through the Oxa‐Pictet cyclization involving diverse aldehydes, including vanillin in combination with lignin‐derivable homovanillyl alcohol, a prominent aromatic platform chemical obtainable via diol‐assisted fractionation of lignocellulose ...

Mechanistic Insights Into Sustainable Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass‐Derived Ferulic Acid: The Role of Alumina Regeneration

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Surface‐bound ferulate phenolate complexes undergo styrene‐like polymerization on alumina, yielding a polymeric carbonaceous layer that progressively transforms into polyaromatic carbon domains with concomitant release of aromatic products, while parallel surface‐assisted decarboxylation produces 4‐vinylguaiacol. ABSTRACT A fundamental understanding of

SiC/Si ceramic hollow fibres: A new approach to Chlorella vulgaris biomass harvesting

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Efficient harvesting of microalgae is a critical challenge for the viability of biorefineries, requiring technologies that combine high selectivity, low cost, and scalability. The current work evaluated the performance of an asymmetric hollow fibre ceramic membrane (HF‐SiC70Si30), fabricated by phase inversion and sintered at 1250°C, in the ...
