The Challenge of Efficient Synthesis of Biofuels from Lignocellulose for Future Renewable Transportation Fuels
Dehydration of sugars to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has recently been under intensive study by a multitude of research groups. On the other hand, when lignocellulosic biomass is applied as the starting material, very few studies can be found in the open literature. The direct synthesis of HMF, in...
