Abstract
In the current work, a techno-economic analysis of pyrolysis of choline glycinate pre-treated biomass has been presented for the co-production of furfural and levoglucosenone along with hemicellulose, lignin and biochar as other byproducts. The mass balance suggested that the 1800 kg/h dry sugarcane straw biorefinery plant could produce about 260 kg/h furfural and 65 kg/h levoglucosenone. The minimum selling price of furfural and levoglucosenone were also estimated and the values were 1640 and 3590 AU$/tonne at 11.1 % biomass loading with 99 % ionic liquid recycling for furfural and levoglucosenone as the target products, respectively. The base case analysis suggested around 6.9 MAU$ NPV with a payback period of 15.4 years. The sensitivity analysis suggested that biomass loading, ionic liquid recycling and cost, waste heat recovery, furfural yield, interest rate and capital cost are the major influential factors for both the minimum selling price of furfural and levoglucosenone.

Abstract
Diamines are important industrial chemicals. In this paper we outline the feasibility of lignocellulose as a source of diol-containing molecules. We also illustrate the possibility of turning these diols into their diamines in good to excellent yields. Central to these transformations is the use of commercially available Raney Ni. For diol formation, the Raney Ni engages in hydrogenation and often also demethoxylation, that way funneling multiple components to one single molecule. For diamine formation, Raney Ni catalyzes hydrogen-borrowing mediated diamination in the presence of NH3.

Abstract
The development and commercialization of sustainable chemicals from agricultural products and by-products is necessary for a circular economy built on renewable natural resources. Among the largest contributors to the final cost of a biomass conversion product is the cost of the initial biomass feedstock, representing a significant challenge in effective biomass utilization. Another major challenge is in identifying the correct products for development, which must be able to satisfy the need for both low-cost, drop-in fossil fuel replacements and novel, high-value fine chemicals (and/or commodity chemicals). Both challenges can be met by utilizing wastes or by-products from biomass processing, which have very limited starting cost, to yield platform chemicals. Specifically, sugar crop processing (e.g., sugarcane, sugar beet) is a mature industry that produces high volumes of by-products with significant potential for valorization. This review focuses specifically on the production of acetoin (3-hydroxybutanone), 2,3-butanediol, and C4 dicarboxylic (succinic, malic, and fumaric) acids with emphasis on biochemical conversion and targeted upgrading of sugar crop products/by-products. These C4 compounds are easily derived from fermentations and can be converted into many different final products, including food, fragrance, and cosmetic additives, as well as sustainable biofuels and other chemicals. State-of-the-art literature pertaining to optimization strategies for microbial conversion of sugar crop byproducts to C4 chemicals (e.g., bagasse, molasses) is reviewed, along with potential routes for upgrading and valorization. Directions and opportunities for future research and industrial biotechnology development are discussed.

Abstract
The high dependence on crude oil for energy utilization leads to a necessity of finding alternative sustainable resources. Solvents are often employed in valorizing the biomass into bioproducts and other value-added chemicals during treatment stages. Unfortunately, despite the effectiveness of conventional solvents, hindrances such as expensive solvents, unfavourable environmental ramifications, and complicated downstream separation systems often occur. Therefore, the scientific community has been actively investigating more cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternatives and possess the excellent dissolving capability for biomass processing. Generally, 'green' solvents are attractive due to their low toxicity, economic value, and biodegradability. Nonetheless, green solvents are not without disadvantages due to their complicated product recovery, recyclability, and high operational cost. This review summarizes and evaluates the recent contributions, including potential advantages, challenges, and drawbacks of green solvents, namely ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, water, biomass-derived solvents and carbon dioxide in transforming the lignocellulosic biomass into high-value products. Moreover, research opportunities for future developments and potential upscale implementation of green solvents are also critically discussed.

Abstract
This work presents the selective production of the versatile bio-based platform levoglucosenone (LGO) using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as catalysts during cellulose pyrolysis. Among 18 types of DESs examined, those containing p-toluenesulfonic acid as a hydrogen bond donor possessed the requisite thermal stability for use in the pyrolysis of cellulose. When those DESs were combined with cellulose, the pyrolysis temperature could be reduced which led to greater selectivity for LGO, the highest yield being 41.5% on a carbon basis. Because of their thermal stability, the DESs could be recovered from the pyrolysis residue and reused. The DESs recovery reached 97.9% in the pyrolysis at a low temperature with the LGO yield of 14.0%. Thus, DES-assisted cellulose pyrolysis is a promising methodology for LGO production.

Abstract
The upscaling of biphasic photochemical reactions is challenging because of the inherent constraints of liquid–gas mixing and light penetration. Using semi-permeable coaxial flow chemistry within a modular photoreactor, the photooxidation of the platform chemical furfural was scaled up to produce routinely 29 gram per day of biobased building block hydroxybutenolide, a precursor to acrylate alternatives. An easily-built, user-friendly modular photoreactor enables optimization and upscaling of flow photooxidation.![]()

Abstract
An effective continuous furfural production from xylose in a microreactor over dual-acid catalysts was proposed. In this work, furfural was synthesized in an organic solvent-free system using formic acid and aluminum chloride as catalyst. The role of these catalysts in the consecutive reactions was examined and verified. The influence of operating conditions including xylose concentration, reaction temperature, residence time, total catalyst concentration, and catalyst ratio on the yield of furfural was investigated and optimized. The furfural yield of 92.2% was achieved at the reaction temperature of 180 °C, residence time of 15 min, catalyst molar ratio of 1 : 1, xylose concentration of 1 g L−1, and total catalyst concentration of 16 mM. The superior production performance of our process was highlighted in terms of the low catalyst concentration and short residence time compared to those of other systems based on the literature. In addition, a continuous in situ catalyst removal (purification) was demonstrated, providing further insights into the practical development of continuous furfural production. An effective continuous furfural production from xylose in a microreactor over dual-acid catalysts was proposed. In this work, furfural was synthesized in an organic solvent-free system using formic acid and aluminum chloride as catalyst.![]()

Abstract
Petrochemical based polymers, paints and coatings are cornerstones of modern industry but our future sustainable society demands greener processes and renewable feedstock materials. A challenge is to access platform monomers from biomass resources while integrating the principles of green chemistry in their chemical synthesis. We present a synthesis route starting from biomass‐derived furfural towards the commonly used monomers maleic anhydride and acrylic acid, implementing environmentally benign photooxygenation, aerobic oxidation and ethenolysis reactions. Maleic anhydride and acrylic acid, transformed into sodium acrylate, were isolated in yields of 85 % (2 steps) and 81 % (4 steps), respectively. With minimal waste and high atom efficiency, this biobased route provides a viable alternative to access key monomers.

Abstract
Increasing fossil fuel consumption and global warming has been driving the worldwide revolution towards renewable energy. Biomass is abundant and low-cost resource whereas it requires environmentally friendly and cost-effective conversion technique. Pyrolysis of biomass into valuable bio-oil has attracted much attention in the past decades due to its feasibility and huge commercial outlook. However, the complex chemical compositions and high water content in bio-oil greatly hinder the large-scale application and commercialization. Therefore, catalytic pyrolysis of biomass for selective production of specific chemicals will stand out as a unique pathway. This review aims to improve the understanding for the process by illustrating the chemistry of non-catalytic and catalytic pyrolysis of biomass at the temperatures ranging from 400 to 650 °C. The focus is to introduce recent progress about producing value-added hydrocarbons, phenols, anhydrosugars, and nitrogen-containing compounds from catalytic pyrolysis of biomass over zeolites, metal oxides, etc. via different reaction pathways including cracking, Diels-Alder/aromatization, ketonization/aldol condensation, and ammoniation. The potential challenges and future directions for this technique are discussed in deep.

Billions of pounds of these multilayer films are produced annually, but manufacturing inefficiencies result in large, corresponding postindustrial waste streams. Although relatively clean (as opposed to municipal wastes) and of near-constant composition, no commercially practiced technologies exist to fully deconstruct postindustrial multilayer film wastes into pure, recyclable polymers. Here, we demonstrate a unique strategy we call solvent-targeted recovery and precipitation (STRAP) to deconstruct multilayer films into their constituent resins using a series of solvent washes that are guided by thermodynamic calculations of polymer solubility. We show that the STRAP process is able to separate three representative polymers (polyethylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and polyethylene terephthalate) from a commercially available multilayer film with nearly 100% material efficiency, affording recyclable resins that are cost-competitive with the corresponding virgin materials.

Abstract
A catalytic system for the synthesis of dicarboxylic acids from aqueous solutions of diols accompanied by the evolution of hydrogen was developed. An iridium complex bearing a functional bipyridonate ligand with N,N-dimethylamino substituents exhibited a high catalytic performance for this type of dehydrogenative reaction. For example, adipic acid was synthesized from an aqueous solution of 1,6-hexanediol in 97 % yield accompanied by the evolution of four equivalents of hydrogen by the present catalytic system. It should be noted that the simultaneous production of industrially important dicarboxylic acids and hydrogen, which is useful as an energy carrier, was achieved. In addition, the selective dehydrogenative oxidation of vicinal diols to give α-hydroxycarboxylic acids was also accomplished.

Abstract
The design and development of new routes for the production of sustainable bulk-chemicals requires focus on feedstock, conversion technology and downstream product recovery. This brief article discusses some of the constraints with using fermentation and suggests the removal of some constraints by using microbial biocatalysis or enzyme biocatalysis, which give a number of benefits in the context of the requirements for bulk-chemical production. Some potential process concepts are described, for products in the suitable low-price range. These examples (biodiesel, furfurals and amines) are used to illustrate the power of biocatalysis. Suggestions for future research efforts beyond molecular biology, involving process-based concepts, are also discussed.

Abstract
The ever increasing industrial production of commodity and specialty chemicals inexorably depletes the finite primary fossil resources available on Earth. The forecast of population growth over the next 3 decades is a very strong incentive for the identification of alternative primary resources other than petro-based ones. In contrast with fossil resources, renewable biomass is a virtually inexhaustible reservoir of chemical building blocks. Shifting the current industrial paradigm from almost exclusively petro-based resources to alternative bio-based raw materials requires more than vibrant political messages; it requires a profound revision of the concepts and technologies on which industrial chemical processes rely. Only a small fraction of molecules extracted from biomass bears significant chemical and commercial potentials to be considered as ubiquitous chemical platforms upon which a new, bio-based industry can thrive. Owing to its inherent assets in terms of unique process experience, scalability, and reduced environmental footprint, flow chemistry arguably has a major role to play in this context. This review covers a selection of C2 to C6 bio-based chemical platforms with existing commercial markets including polyols (ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, glycerol, 1,4-butanediol, xylitol, and sorbitol), furanoids (furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) and carboxylic acids (lactic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, itaconic acid, and levulinic acid). The aim of this review is to illustrate the various aspects of upgrading bio-based platform molecules toward commodity or specialty chemicals using new process concepts that fall under the umbrella of continuous flow technology and that could change the future perspectives of biorefineries.

Abstract
The ligand HCNNOMe (6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine) is easily prepared from the commercially available 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde by the reaction of hydroxylamine and hydrogenation (H2, 1 atm) with Pd/C. The pincer complexes cis-[RuCl(CNNOMe)(PPh3)2] (1) and [RuCl(CNNOMe)(PP)] (PP = dppb, 2; and dppf, 3) are synthesized from [RuCl2(PPh3)3], HCNNOMe and PP (for 2 and 3) in 2-propanol with NEt3 at reflux and are isolated in 85-93% yield. Carbonylation of 1 (CO, 1 atm) gives [RuCl(CNNOMe)(CO)(PPh3)] (4) (79% yield) which cleanly reacts with Na[BArf4] and PCy3, affording the cationic trans-[Ru(CNNOMe)(CO)(PCy3)(PPh3)][BArf4] (5) (92% yield). These robust pincer complexes display remarkably high catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of lignocellulosic biomass carbonyl compounds, using 2-propanol at reflux in a basic medium (NaOiPr or K2CO3). Thus, furfural, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural and Cyrene are reduced to the corresponding alcohols with 2 and 3, at S/C in the range of 10 000-100 000, within minutes or hours (TOF up to 1 500 000 h-1). The monocarbonyl complex 5 was found to be extremely active in the TH of cinnamaldehyde, vanillin derivatives and ethyl levulinate at S/C in the range of 10 000-50 000. Vanillyl alcohol is also obtained by the TH of vanillin with 5 (S/C = 500) in 2-propanol in the presence of K2CO3.

ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING 2019; 7:13430-13436.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis and characterization of novel mesoporous chiral polyboronates obtained by condensation of (R,S)/(S,S)-hexane-1,2,5,6-tetrol (HT) with simple aromatic diboronic acids (e.g., 1,3-benzenediboronic acid) (BDB). HT is a cellulose-derived building block comprising two 1,2-diol structures linked by a flexible ethane bridge. It typically consists of two diastereomers one of which [(S,R)-HT] can be made chirally pure. Boronic acids are abundantly available due to their importance in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. They are generally considered nontoxic and easy to synthesize. Reactive dissolution of generally sparingly soluble HT with BDB, in only a small amount of solvent, yields the mesoporous HT/polyboronate materials by spontaneous precipitation from the reaction mixture. The 3D nature of HT/polyboronate materials results from the entanglement of individual 1D polymeric chains. The obtained BET surface areas (SAs) and pore volumes (PVs) depend strongly on HT's diastereomeric excess and the meta/para orientation of the boronic acids on the phenyl ring. This suggests a strong influence of the curvature(s) of the 1D polymeric chains on the final materials' properties. Maximum SA and PV values are respectively 90 m2 g-1 and 0.44 mL g-1. Variably sized mesopores, spanning mainly the 5-50 nm range, are evidenced. The obtained pore volumes rival the ones of some covalent organic frameworks (COFs), yet they are obtained in a less expensive and more benign fashion. Moreover, currently no COFs have been reported with pore diameters in excess of 5 nm. In addition, chiral boron-based COFs have presently not been reported. Scanning electron microscopy reveals the presence of micrometer-sized particles, consisting of aggregates of plates, forming channels and cell-like structures. X-ray diffraction shows the crystalline nature of the material, which depends on the nature of the aromatic diboronic acids and, in the specific case of 1,4-benzenediboronic acid, also on the applied diastereomeric excess in HT.

Abstract
The development of green solvents is one of the key tenets of Green Chemistry as solvents account for the majority of waste stemming from the production of the chemicals on which we have all come to rely. An important class of solvents is the dipolar aprotics, which include N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). In addition to being derived from non-renewable resources, these solvents are also under increased regulatory pressures that will limit their industrial applications. This Concept concerns the bio-available solvent Cyrene (dihydrolevoglucosenone) as a potential replacement for toxic dipolar aprotic solvents. An emphasis is placed on examining the strengths and weaknesses of Cyrene as a solvent and is accomplished by looking at the synthesis, derivatization, and application in synthetic protocols of Cyrene. With respect to the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry, this Concept describes a bio-available solvent that should have a disruptive effect on the use of traditional industrial dipolar aprotic solvents.

Abstract
The environmental impact of CO2 emissions via the use of fossil resources as chemical feedstock and fuels has stimulated research to utilize renewable biomass feedstock. The biogenic compounds such as polyols are highly oxygenated and their valorization requires the new methods to control the oxygen to carbon ratio of the chemicals. The catalytic cleavage of C-O bonds and C-C bonds is promising methods, but the conventional catalyst systems encounter the difficulty to obtain the high yields of the desired products. This review describes our recent development of the high performance heterogeneous catalysts for the valorization of the biogenic chemicals such as glycerol, furfural, and levulinic acid via selective cleavage of C-O bonds and C-C bonds in the liquid-phase. Selective C-O bond cleavage by hydrogenolysis enables production of various diols useful as engineering plastics, antifreeze, and cosmetics in high yields. The success of the selective C-C bond scission of levulinic acid can be applied to a wide range of the biogenic oxygenates such as carboxylic acids, esters, lactones, and primary alcohols, in which the selective C-C bond scission at adjacent to the oxygen functional groups are achieved. Furthermore, valorization of glycerol by selective acetylation and acetalization, and of levulinic acid by hydrogenation is described. Our catalysts show excellent performance compared to the reported catalysts in the aforementioned valorization.
