Influence of Impurities on the Electrochemical Upcycling of Biomass. [PDF]
5‐hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) and furfural contain impurity levels that lie below the detection limit of common analysis techniques. Yet, these impurity levels have an adverse effect on the electrochemical conversion of these compounds. In this study, we show that distillation of furfural and recrystallization of HMF facilitates their electrochemical ...

Selective Transfer Hydrogenation of Furfural to Isopropyl Levulinate: An In Situ One‐Pot Cascade Approach [PDF]
In this article, we applied a combination of metal (0.5 mol%) and acid (1 mol%) that functioned harmoniously to selectively convert a bio‐based starting material, furfural, into small oxygenates. We used a transfer hydrogenation reaction with isopropanol acting as both the reducing agent and the reaction medium. Isopropyl levulinate, a key intermediate

Impact of Furfural on Rapid Ethanol Production Using a Membrane Bioreactor
A membrane bioreactor was developed to counteract the inhibition effect of furfural in ethanol production. Furfural, a major inhibitor in lignocellulosic hydrolyzates, is a highly toxic substance which is formed from pentose sugars released during the ...

Furfural Produces Dose-Dependent Attenuating Effects on Ethanol-Induced Toxicity in the Liver
Background: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) increases the health burden worldwide, but effective drugs to prevent ALD are lacking. Furfural is a small molecule that can limit alcohol production in microorganisms and may have the capacity to ...
