Increasing demand for fuels and chemicals, driven by factors including over-population, the threat of global warming scarcity fossil resources, strains our resource system necessitates development sustainable innovative strategies chemical industry. Our society is currently experiencing constraints imposed system, which drives industry to increase its overall efficiency improving existing processes or finding new uses waste. Food supply chain waste emerged as a with significant potential be...

We constructed highly oriented and ordered macropores within metal-organic framework (MOF) single crystals, opening up the area of three-dimensional-ordered macro-microporous materials (that is, containing both macro- micropores) in single-crystalline form. Our methodology relies on strong shaping effects a polystyrene nanosphere monolith template double-solvent-induced heterogeneous nucleation approach. This process synergistically enabled situ growth MOFs voids, rendering crystal with...

Environmental issues, the growing demand for energy, political concerns and medium-term depletion of petroleum has created need development sustainable technologies based on renewable raw materials. Biofuels might help to meet future energy supply demands as well contributing a reduction green house gas emissions. Although this topic is highly controversial many investigations are currently ongoing, review intended give brief overview about certain aspects complex biofuel issue, providing...

Petroleum is currently being used as a major source for chemicals, materials, and fuels, but poses concerns in terms of its future utilisation due to resource limitation, increasing costs associated environmental issues. An alternative raw material chemicals biofuels production lignocellulosic biomass. The conversion biomass begins with pretreatment which chemical and/or physical treatments are utilised remove or weaken the tight linkages among cell-wall components, making easier degrade....

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant organic carbon source and has received a great deal of interest as renewable sustainable feedstock for production potential biofuels value-added chemicals with wide range designed catalytic systems. However, those natural polymeric materials are composed short-chain monomers (typically C6 C5 sugars) complex lignin molecules containing plenty oxygen, resulting in products during downstream processing having low-grade fuel properties or limited...
