Reduction of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol in Liquid Phase over a Biochar-Supported Platinum Catalyst
Energies, 2017 In this work, the liquid phase hydrogenation of furfural has been studied using a biochar-supported platinum catalyst in a batch reactor. Reactions were performed between 170 °C and 320 °C, using 3 wt % and 5 wt % of Pt supported on a maple-based biochar

Two-Step Thermochemical Cellulose Hydrolysis With Partial Neutralization for Glucose Production
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018 Cellulose hydrolysis processes using concentrated acid usually involve two steps in order to obtain high glucose yields. The first step (pre-treatment) decrystallizes cellulose while the second step (post-hydrolysis) converts the amorphous cellulose to ...

Single-pass transformation of syngas into ethanol with high selectivity by triple tandem catalysis
Nature Communications, 2020 Synthesis of ethanol from non-petroleum carbon resources via syngas (a mixture of H2 and CO) is an important but challenging research target. The current conversion of syngas to ethanol suffers from low selectivity or multiple processes with high energy ...

Solvothermal Reduction of Graphite Oxide Using Alcohols [PDF]
Materials Research, 2017 In the present work, we use either ethanol or ethylene glycol as reducing agents through the solvothermal method for graphite oxide reduction. A sulfuric acid treatment before the reduction process was also applied to evaluate its influence on the epoxy ...

Interference from ordinarily used solvents in the outcomes of Artemia salina lethality test
Journal of Advanced Pharmaceutical Technology & Research, 2013 Methanol, ethanol, Tween 20 and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are widely used as dissolving agents in Artemia salina lethality test (aka brine shrimp lethality test [BSLT]) to screen the pharmaceutical properties of natural products.
