Xylose Acetals ‐ a New Class of Sustainable Solvents and Their Application in Enzymatic Polycondensation

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Novel organic solvents with an unmodified carbohydrate core were synthesised both from D‐xylose and directly from biomass and were successfully used as reaction media for lipase biocatalysts to synthesise aliphatic and aromatic polyesters. Abstract The use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing ...

Effects of hybrid metal oxide nanoparticles on the tribological and emission attributes of algae‐derived biofuel in compression ignition engines

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing demand for sustainable fuels has accelerated the development of algae‐derived biodiesel for compression‐ignition engines. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (AME) exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to diesel and satisfied ASTM D6751 fuel quality requirements, making it suitable for blending.

Thermal and physical characterization of briquettes produced from wood, charcoal fines, and plastic packaging waste

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Briquettes represent a sustainable and viable approach for the reutilization of solid urban and industrial waste. Their incorporation into wood‐based briquettes aims to generate thermal energy through combustion, enabling application in industrial thermal systems already equipped with flue‐gas emission control.
