A cheap, scalable and efficient nickel catalyst on nitrogen-doped carbon for the aqueous-phase hydrogenation of biomass-derived compounds in flow system.

The continuous flow synthesis of p-xylene (pXL) via Diels–Alder cycloaddition of lignocellulosic biomass-derivable 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and acrylic acid (AA) was performed over different types of zeolites.

Catalytic chemical depolymerisation is an emerging technology to recycle synthetic textiles and ultimately to enable a circular textile economy. Homogeneous and heterogeneous systems are reviewed.

Isosorbide is one of the most interesting cellulosic‐derived molecules with great potential to be implemented in wide range of products that shaping our daily life. This Review describes the recent developments in the production of isosorbide from sorbitol in batch and continuous‐flow systems under hydrothermal conditions using solid acid catalysts. Moreover, the current hurdles and challenges regarding the synthesis of isosorbide from cellulosic biomass in continuous‐flow process using solid acid catalysts are summarized, as well as the scaling‐up of this process into pilot level, which will lead to an established industrial process with high sustainability metrics.
