Technological development made in the field of biomass application allows synthesizing several high-value products, such as furfuraldehyde. Furfural, produced through sequential hydrolysis and dehydration reactions from biomass, is considered a platform molecule precursor other chemicals biofuels that are generated following hydrogenation, hydrodeoxygenation, decarboxylation. This review aims t...

In this work the photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) reforming of furfuryl alcohol (FA) under environmental friendly conditions was investigated. Both H2 evolution partial oxidation to furfuraldehyde were followed. For first time TiO2 based photocatalysts studied activity home prepared compared with that commercial ones both UVA simulated solar irradiation. PEC tests performed b...

Through the previous study a hydrothermal polymerization (HTP)—a catalytic methodology for treating various biomass and organic wastes—has been developed on lab scale with 1 L reactor results published. The research work described herein aims to ensure that process is scalable pilot even commercial plants. A 1700 binary system has built assumptions of plant would have 10,000 20,000 pressure ves...

The global demand for herbal cosmetics is vastly increasing due to their health benefits and relative safety. Glycyrrhiza spp. extracts are used in cosmetic preparations skin-whitening, antisensitizing, anti-inflammatory properties. aim of this work computationally evaluate the bioactive constituents licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) that possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, dermatocosmetic a...
