Abstract
The efficient utilization of biomass resources has gained widespread attention in current research. This study focused on the conversion of hemicellulose into xylo-oligosaccharides and furfural, as well as enhanced cellulose saccharification and lignin removal from residual biomass. The solid acid catalyst AT-Sn-MMT was prepared by sulfonation and tin ion loading of montmorillonite K-10. In a mixture of deep eutectic solvent and γ-valerolactone (3:7, v/v), AT-Sn-MMT was used to catalyze Phyllostachys edulis (PE) at 160 °C for 20 min, obtaining a furfural yield of 85.7 % and 1.5 g/L xylo-oligosaccharides. The delignification of pretreated PE was 59.5 %, reaching an accessibility of 221.3 g dye/g material. While the enzymatic saccharification efficiency was increased to 73.1 %. This work drew on the merits of solid acid catalysts and mixed solvent systems, and this constructed pretreatment method could be efficiently applied for co-production of reducing sugars, xylooligosaccharide and furfural, realizing the efficient valorization of PE.

Abstract
With hydrothermal reaction, lignocellulosic biomass can be efficiently converted into furfural (FF) and levulinic acid (LA), both of which are key platform compounds that can be used for the subsequent preparation of aviation fuels. In order to reduce the acid concentration in traditional hydrolysis and provide a reaction system with good catalytic activity, we propose a biomass conversion route as dilute acid hydrolysis coupled with solid acid catalysis. Firstly, at different temperatures, the hemicellulose and cellulose in corn stover were step-hydrolyzed by sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 0.9 wt. % to produce xylose and glucose, with conversion reaching 100% and 97.3%, respectively. Subsequently, a new resin-derived carbon-based solid acid catalyst was used to catalyze the aforementioned saccharide solutions to obtain FF with yield of 68.7 mol % and LA of 70.3 mol %, respectively. This work provides a promising approach for the efficient production of bio-aviation fuel precursors.

Abstract
The research on the efficient use of biomass to produce chemical products has received extensive attention. In this work, a novel heterogeneous biocarbon-based heterogeneous catalyst AT-Sn-YB was prepared using yellow bamboo (YB) as a carrier, and its physical properties were proved to be good by various characterization and stability experiments. In the γ-valerolactone/water (3:1, v/v) medium containing 100 mM CuCl2, the use of AT-Sn-YB (3.6 wt%) under 170 °C for 20 min was applied to catalyze YB into furfural (80.3% yield), accompanied with 2.8 g/L xylooligosaccharides. The YB solid residue obtained from treatment was efficiently saccharified to reducing sugars (17.2 g/L). Accordingly, comprehensive understanding of efficiently co-producing xylooligosaccharides, furfural and reducing sugars from YB was demonstrated via the pretreatment with biochar-based catalyst. This study innovatively used a new type of solid acid to complete the efficient co-production of chemical products, and realized the value-added utilization of yellow bamboo.

Abstract
In this work, the xylose conversion and the selectivity to furfural were assessed over mesoporous sulfonic silica SBA-15-(X)SO3H catalysts doped with metal ions (X = Al(iii), Ti(iv) or Zr(iv)). The type and amount of acid sites were analyzed by adsorption of pivalonitrile. The SBA-15-(X)SO3H materials show Lewis acid sites (LAS) and two types of Brønsted acid sites (BAS) with different strengths. Type I (BAS I) belongs to terminal silanol groups, type II (BAS II) is ascribed to hydroxyl groups bonded to sulfur or transition metal, and the LAS is related to M-O bonds. Optimal reaction conditions for the most active catalyst (SBA-15-(Zr)SO3H) were 120 minutes of reaction at 160 °C, 20 wt% of catalyst, and 2.5% of xylose/solvent. Additionally, a kinetic study was carried out to calculate the rate constants, the activation energy, and the pre-exponential factor for the xylose dehydration reaction. It was found that the selectivity to furfural in sulfonic silica SBA-15-(X)SO3H catalysts was directly related to the BAS II fraction. While LAS negatively impacts the selectivity to furfural leading to the undesired reaction between furfural and xylose obtaining humins as secondary products.

Abstract
The environmental burden of food waste (FW) disposal coupled with natural resource scarcity has aroused interest in FW valorization; however, transforming FW into valuable products remains a challenge because of its heterogeneous nature. In this study, a two-stage method involving black soldier fly (BSF)-based insect pretreatment and subsequent hydrothermal catalysis over a single-atom cerium-incorporated hydroxyapatite (Ce-HAP) was explored to convert FW into high added-value furfurals (furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural). FW consisting of cereal, vegetables, meat, eggs, oil, and salt was initially degraded by BSF larvae to generate homogeneous BSF biomass, and then, crucial parameters impacting the conversion of BSF biomass into furfurals were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, 9.3 wt % yield of furfurals was attained, and repeated trials confirmed the recyclability of Ce-HAP. It was proved that the revenue of furfural production from FW by this two-stage method ranged from 3.14 to 584.4 USD/tonne. This study provides a potential technical orientation for FW resource utilization.

Towards efficient and greener processes for furfural production from biomass: A review of the recent trends. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 847:157599.

Abstract
As mentioned in several recent reviews, biomass-based furfural is attracting increasing interest as a feasible alternative for the synthesis of a wide range of non-petroleum-derived compounds. However, the lack of environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable industrial procedures is still evident. This review describes the chemical and biological routes for furfural production. The mechanisms proposed for the chemical transformation of xylose to furfural are detailed, as are the current advances in the manufacture of furfural from biomass. The main goal is to overview the different ways of improving the furfural synthesis process. A pretreatment process, particularly chemical and physico-chemical, enhances the digestibility of biomass, leading to the production of >70 % of available sugars for the production of valuable products. The combination of heterogeneous (zeolite and polymeric solid) catalyst and biphasic solvent system (water/GVL and water/CPME) is regarded as an attractive approach, affording >75 % furfural yield for over 80 % of selectivity with the possibility of catalyst reuse. Microwave heating as an activation technique reduces reaction time at least tenfold, making the process more sustainable. The state of the art in industrial processes is also discussed. It shows that, when sulfuric acid is used, the furfural yields do not exceed 55 % for temperatures close to 180 °C. However, the MTC process recently achieved an 83 % yield by continuously removing furfural from the liquid phase. Finally, the CIMV process, using a formic acid/acetic acid mixture, has been developed. The economic aspects of furfural production are then addressed. Future research will be needed to investigate scaling-up and biological techniques that produce acceptable yields and productivities to become commercially viable and competitive in furfural production from biomass.

Chemoenzymatic catalytic synthesis of furfurylamine from hemicellulose in biomasses. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 222:1201-1210. [PMID: 36174871 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Recently, efficient synthesis of furan-based chemicals from biomacromolecule via chemoenzymatic approaches have been widely recognized. In this work, an efficient conversion of biomacromolecule (e.g., xylan in biomass) to furfurylamine (FLA) was developed in a tandem reaction by bridging with chemocatalysis and biocatalysis. Various biomasses (e.g., corncob, bagasse, bamboo shoot shell, corn stalk, rice straw stalk, reed, water bamboo and sunflower stalk) could produce different titer of furfural due to the diverse xylan content in biomass. After being catalyzed by shrimp shell-supported solid acid catalyst (Sn-DAT-SS) in deep eutectic solvent choline chloride:ethylene glycol (ChCl:EG) - water (10:90, v/v) at 170 °C after 30 min, corncob gave the highest furfural yield of 52.4 %. The potential catalytic mechanism for Sn-DAT-SS-catalyzing the conversion of biomass into furfural in ChCl:EG - water was proposed. It was found that by-products (formic acid, levulinic acid, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) and soluble sugars (glucose, xylose, arabinose, cellobiose) produced during the conversion of biomass to furfural had certain inhibition effects on the biotransamination of furfural to FLA. Biomass-derived furfural (36.7-92.3 mM) could be fully aminated to FLA by E. coli CCZU-XLS160 cells harboring ω-transaminase after 24-72 h. The established chemoenzymatic strategy for converting biomacromolecules into valuable furan-based products was successfully developed in an eco-friendly system.

Abstract
Sunflower stalk was utilized as a source of raw material and catalyst for furfural production, and efficient conversion of xylose-rich hydrolysate into furfural was developed in an aqueous deep eutectic solvent/organic solvent medium by carbonaceous solid acid catalyst SO42-/SnO2-SSXR. The structural characteristics of SO42-/SnO2-SSXR was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Pyridine Adsorption Fourier-transform Infrared (Py-IR) and Raman. Under the optimum catalytic conditions, furfural (110.1 mM) yield reached 82.6% in a ChCl-MAA/toluene medium at 180 °C in 15 min by 3.6 wt% SO42-/SnO2-SSXR. Additionally, quite importantly, SO42-/SnO2-SSXR, ChCl-MAA and toluene had good recyclability for furfural production. The potential catalytic path of xylose dehydration into furfural was proposed by co-catalysis with SO42-/SnO2-SSXR and ChCl-MAA. This study revealed high potential sustainable application of furfural production.

Abstract
Chemoenzymatic cascade catalysis using deep eutectic solvent-silica heterogeneous catalyst and reductase biocatalyst was constructed for synthesizing furfuryl alcohol from biomass in one-pot manner. A novel heterogeneous catalyst B:LA-SG(SiO2) was firstly prepared by immobilizing deep eutectic solvent Betaine:Lactic acid on silica with sol-gel method using tetraethyl orthosilicate as silicon source. High furfural yield (45.3%) was achieved from corncob with B:LA-SG(SiO2) catalyst (2.5 wt%) in water at 170 ˚C for 0.5 h. Possible catalytic mechanism for converting biomass into furfural was proposed. Moreover, one newly constructed recombinant E. coli KF2021 cells containing formate dehydrogenase and reductase was utilized to transform corncob-valorized furfural into furfuralcohol at 97.7% yield at pH 7.5 and 40 ˚C via HCOONa-driven coenzyme regeneration. Such a hybrid process was constructed for tandem chemocatalysis and biocatalysis in a same reactor, potentially reducing the operation cost, which had potential application for valorization of biomass to value-added furans.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of carbohydrates into value-added products and platform chemicals became a trend in recent years. Microwave activation used in the processes of carbohydrate conversion coupled with the proper choice of catalysts makes it possible to enhance dramatically the efficiency and sometimes the selectivity of catalysts. This mini-review presents a brief literature survey related to state-of-the-art methods developed recently by the world research community to solve the problem of rational conversion of carbohydrates, mostly produced from natural resources and wastes (forestry and agriculture wastes) including production of hydrogen, synthesis gas, furanics, and alcohols. The focus is made on microwave technologies used for processing carbohydrates. Of particular interest is the use of heterogeneous catalysts and hybrid materials in processing carbohydrates.

Abstract
Recently, highly efficient production of valuable furan-based chemicals from available and renewable lignocellulosic biomass has attracted more and more attention via a chemoenzymatic route in an environmentally friendly reaction system. In this work, the feasibility of chemoenzymatically catalyzing sugarcane bagasse into furfurylamine with heterogeneous catalyst and ω-transaminase biocatalyst was developed in the deep eutectic solvent (DES) ChCl:Gly-water. Sulfonated Al-Laubanite was firstly synthesized to catalyze sugarcane bagasse to furfural. SEM, BET, XRD, and FT-IR were used to characterize Al-Laubanite. Catalyst Al-Laubanite structure was significantly different from carrier laubanite. High furfural yield (60.9%) was achieved by catalyzing sugarcane bagasse in 20 min at 170 ℃ and pH 1.0 by Al-Laubanite (2.4 wt%) in the presence of ChCl:Gly (20 wt%). Potential catalytic mechanism was proposed under the optimized catalytic condition. In addition, one recombinant E. coli CV harboring ω-transaminase could completely transform biomass-derived furfural to furfurylamine at 40 °C and pH 7.5 using L-alanine as amine donor in ChCl:Gly-water (20:80, wt:wt). This established chemoenzymatic cascade reaction strategy was successfully utilized for valorization of biomass into furan-based chemicals in the benign ChCl:Gly-water system.

Abstract
Using acid-treated corn stalk (CS) as biobased carrier, heterogeous SO42-/SnO2-CS catalyst was firstly prepared to catalyze CS into fufural in deep eutectic solvent-water system. The physical properties of SO42-/SnO2-CS were captured by FT-IR, NH3-TPD, XRD, XPS, and BET. SO42-/SnO2-CS (1.2 wt%) could be used to catalyze CS (75.0 g/L) with MgCl2 (15.0 g/L) to produce furfural (102.3 mM) in the yield of 68.2% for 0.5 h at 170 °C in ChCl:EG-water (20:80, v:v). Moreover, enhanced synthesis of furfural was explored based on the structure changes of CS, furfural yields and formation of byproducts. Finally, the potential catalytic mechanism for catalyzing CS into furfural and byproducts was proposed using SO42-/SnO2-CS as catalyst in ChCl:EG-water containing MgCl2. In summary, this established ChCl:EG-water system and optimized catalytic condition facillitated to synthesize furfural from biomass with biobased solid acid catalyst.

Abstract
The reuse of agro-industrial waste has been a recurring issue since the 20th century. With a composition rich in carbohydrates and because of the massive amount of residue produced daily all over the world, corncob became a low-cost and suitable substrate to produce high added-value compounds. Biosurfactants are bioproducts of versatile applications due to their chemical structure with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The current work performed a bibliometric analysis to identify research related to the synthesis of biosurfactants using corncob as substrate. Despite the high availability of corncobs, only nine articles were found in Scopus and Web of Science using different pretreatment processes and microorganisms. After an initial screening, data regarding research organizations, scientific journals, citations, countries, institutions, and keywords were analyzed. Results indicated that corncobs were also used to produce enzymes, adsorbents, activated carbon, and furfural. The presented evaluation updated the status of art, identifying a serious need for more research, especially because of corncob's high potential to provide fermentable sugars and the wide range of variables influencing fermentation processes that still need to be studied. A future association of this low-cost substrate with other methods can result in a promising scenario for technology transference.

Abstract
Due to over-consumption of fossil resources and environmental problems, lignocellulosic biomass as the most abundant and renewable materials is considered as the best candidate to produce biomaterials, biochemicals, and bioenergy, which is of strategic significance and meets the theme of Green Chemistry. Highly efficient and green fractionation of lignocellulose components significantly boosts the high-value utilization of lignocellulose and the biorefinery development. However, heterogeneity of lignocellulosic structure severely limited the lignocellulose fractionation. This paper offers the summary and perspective of the extensive investigation that aims to give insight into the lignocellulose prior-fractionation. Based on the role and structure of lignocellulose component in the plant cell wall, lignocellulose prior-fractionation can be divided into cellulose-first strategy, hemicelluloses-first strategy, and lignin-first strategy, which realizes the selective dissociation and transformation of a component in lignocellulose. Ultimately, the challenges and opportunities of lignocellulose prior-fractionation are proposed on account of the existing problems in the biorefining valorization.

Abstract
Sustainable development is an integrated approach to tackle ongoing global challenges such as resource depletion, environmental degradation, and climate change. However, a paradigm shift from a fossil-based economy to a bio-based economy must accomplish the circularity principles in order to be sustainable as a solution. The exploration of new feedstock possibilities has potential to unlock the bio-based economy’s true potential, wherein a cascading approach would maximize value creation. Seaweed has distinctive chemical properties, a fast growth rate, and other promising benefits beyond its application as food, making it a suitable candidate to substitute fossil-based products. Economic and environmental aspects can make seaweed a lucrative business; however, seasonal variation, cultivation, harvesting, and product development challenges have yet not been considered. Therefore, a clear forward path is needed to consider all aspects, which would lead to the commercialization of financially viable seaweed-based bioproducts. In this article, seaweed’s capability and probable functionality to aid the bio-based economy are systematically discussed. The possible biorefinery approaches, along with its environmental and economic aspects of sustainability, are also dealt with. Ultimately, the developmental process, by-product promotion, financial assistance, and social acceptance approach are summarized, which is essential when considering seaweed-based products’ feasibility. Besides keeping feedstock and innovative technologies at the center of bio-economy transformation, it is imperative to follow sustainable-led management practices to meet sustainable development goals.

Abstract
In this study, tin-loaded sulfonated zeolite (Sn-zeolite) catalyst was synthesized for catalysis of raw corncob (75.0 g/L) to 103.0 mM furfural at 52.3% yield in water (pH 1.0) at 170 °C. This corncob-derived furfural was subsequently biotransformed with recombinant E. coli CG-19 cells coexpressing NADPH-dependent reductase and glucose dehydrogenase at 35 °C by supplementary of glucose (1.5 mol glucose/mol furfural), sodium dodecyl sulfate (0.50 mM) and NADP+ (1.0 μmol NADP+/mmol furfural) in the aqueous catalytic media (pH 7.5). Both sodium dodecyl sulfate (0.50 mM) and Sn4+ (1.0 mM) could promote reductase activity by 1.4-folds. Within 3 h, furfural was wholly catalyzed into furfuryl alcohol. By combining chemical catalysis with Sn-zeolite and biocatalysis with CG-19 cells in one-pot, an effective and sustainable process was established for tandemly catalyzing renewable biomass into furfuryl alcohol under environmentally-friendly way.

Abstract
This study optimizes furfural production from pentose released in the liquid hydrolysate of hardwood using an aqueous biphasic system. Dilute acid pretreatment with 4% sulfuric acid was conducted to extract pentose from liquid Quercus mongolica hydrolysate. To produce furfural from xylose, a xylose standard solution with the same acid concentration of the liquid hydrolysate and extracting solvent (tetrahydrofuran) were applied to the aqueous biphasic system. A response surface methodology was adopted to optimize furfural production in the aqueous biphasic system. A maximum furfural yield of 72.39% was achieved at optimal conditions as per the RSM; a reaction temperature of 170 °C, reaction time of 120 min, and a xylose concentration of 10 g/L. Tetrahydrofuran, toluene, and dimethyl sulfoxide were evaluated to understand the effects of the solvent on furfural production. Tetrahydrofuran generated the highest furfural yield, while DMSO gave the lowest yield. A furfural yield of 68.20% from pentose was achieved in the liquid hydrolysate of Quercus mongolica under optimal conditions using tetrahydrofuran as the extracting solvent. The aqueous and tetrahydrofuran fractions were separated from the aqueous biphasic solvent by salting out using sodium chloride, and 94.63% of the furfural produced was drawn out through two extractions using tetrahydrofuran.

Abstract
The production of furfural from renewable sources, such as lignocellulosic biomass, has gained great interest within the concept of biorefineries. In lignocellulosic materials, xylose is the most abundant pentose, which forms the hemicellulosic part. One of the key steps in the production of furfural from biomass is the dehydration reaction of the pentoses. The objective of this work was to assess the conditions under which the concentration of furfural is maximized from a synthetic, monophasic, and homogeneous xylose medium. The experiments were carried out in a microwave reactor. FeCl3 in different proportions and sulfuric acid were used as catalysts. A two-level, three-factor experimental design was developed for this purpose. The results were further analyzed through a second experimental design and optimization was performed by response surface methodology. The best operational conditions for the highest furfural yield (57%) turned out to be 210 °C, 0.5 min, and 0.05 M FeCl3.

Abstract
Furfurylamine and furfuryl alcohol are known as important furfural-upgrading derivatives in the production of pharmaceuticals, fibers, additives, polymers, etc. In a one-pot manner, the catalysis of biomass into furan-based chemicals was established in a tandem reaction with sulfonated Sn–graphite catalysts and biocatalysts. Using a raw bamboo shoot shell (75.0 g L−1) as the feedstock, a high furfural yield of 41.1% (based on xylan) was obtained using the heterogeneous Sn–graphite catalyst (3.6 wt% dosage) in water (pH 1.0) for 30 min at 180 °C. Under the optimum bioreaction conditions, the biomass-derived furfural could be transformed into furfuryl alcohol (0.310 g furfuryl alcohol per g xylan in biomass) by a reductase biocatalyst or furfurylamine (0.305 g furfurylamine per g xylan in biomass) using an ω-transaminase biocatalyst. Such one-pot chemoenzymatic processes combined the merits of both heterogeneous catalysts and biocatalysts, and sustainable processes were successfully constructed for synthesizing key bio-based furans. Furfurylamine and furfuryl alcohol are known as important furfural-upgrading derivatives in the production of pharmaceuticals, fibers, additives, polymers, etc.![]()

Abstract
Efficient conversion of dilute-oxalic acid pretreated bagasse hydrolysate to furfural was developed using recyclable ironic phosphates (FePO4) catalysts in the modified heterogeneous system. The effects of reaction conditions on the furfural yields were investigated, and the stability and water solubility of catalysts were evaluated. Results showed that the maximum furfural yield of 88.7% was obtained in the modified biphasic system by FePO4 catalysts at 190 °C for 120 min. The catalyst could be recycled and reused in conversion of the xylose-rich hydrolysate into furfural due to the unique feature that the catalyst showed solid state at room temperature and could be gradually dissolved into the aqueous phase upon increasing the reaction temperature and time. The experiments of five-time recycles showed that the FePO4 catalyst exhibited excellent stability and catalytic performances.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is a widely used renewable energy source on the Earth that is rich in carbon skeletons. The catalytic hydrolysis of lignocellulose over magnetic solid acid is an efficient pathway for the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. In this study, a bamboo-derived carbonaceous magnetic solid acid catalyst was synthesized by FeCl3 impregnation, followed by carbonization and –SO3H group functionalization. The prepared catalyst was further subjected as the solid acid catalyst for the catalytic conversion of corncob polysaccharides into reducing sugars. The results showed that the as-prepared magnetic solid acid contained –SO3H, –COOH, and polycyclic aromatic, and presented good catalytic performance for the hydrolysis of corncob in the aqueous phase. The concentration of H+ was in the range of 0.6487 to 2.3204 mmol/g. Dilute acid and alkali pretreatments of raw material can greatly improve the catalytic activity of bamboo-derived carbonaceous magnetic solid acid. Using the catalyst prepared by 0.25% H2SO4-pretreated bamboo, 6417.5 mg/L of reducing sugars corresponding to 37.17% carbohydrates conversion could be obtained under the reaction conditions of 120 °C for 30 min.

Abstract
Within the last decade, interest in using biphasic systems for producing furans from biomass has grown significantly. Biphasic systems continuously extract furans into the organic phase, which prevents degradation reactions and potentially allows for easier separations of the products. Several heterogeneous catalyst types, including zeolites, ion exchange resins, niobium-based, and others, have been used with various organic solvents to increase furan yields from sugar dehydration reactions. In this minireview, we summarized the use of heterogeneous catalysts in biphasic systems for furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production from the past five years, highlighting trends in chemical and physical properties that effect catalytic activity. Additionally, the selection of an organic solvent for a biphasic system is extremely important and we review and discuss properties of the most commonly used organic solvents.

Abstract
In this study, organic acid could be used as co-catalyst for assisting solid acid SO42-/SnO2-argil to convert hemicellulose-derived D-xylose into furfural. The relationship between pKa of organic acid and turnover frequency (TOF) of co-catalysis with organic acid plus SO42-/SnO2-argil was explored on the conversion of D-xylose to furfural. Oxalic acid (pKa = 1.25) (0.35 wt%) was found to be the optimum co-catalyst for assisting SO42-/SnO2-argil (3.6 wt%) to synthesize furfural from D-xylose (20 g/L) at 180 °C for 20 min, and the furfural yield and TOF could be obtained at 57.07% and 6.26 h-1, respectively. Finally, the obtained furfural (107.6 mM) could be completely biotransformed to furfuralcohol by recombinant Escherichia coli CCZU-K14 whole-cells at 30 °C and pH 6.5 in the presence of 1.5 mol glucose/mol furfural and 400 mM D-xylose. Clearly, this strategy shows high potential application for the effective synthesis of furfuralcohol from biomass-derived D-xylose.

Abstract
In this study, chemo-enzymatic synthesis of furfuralcohol from biomass-derived xylose was successfully demonstrated by a sequential acid-catalyzed dehydration under microwave and whole-cells reduction. After dry dewaxed chestnut shells (CNS, 75 g/L) was acid-hydrolyzed with dilute oxalic acid (0.5 wt%) at 140 °C for 40 min, the obtained CNS-derived xylose (17.9 g/L xylose) could be converted to furfural at 78.8% yield with solid acid SO42-/SnO2-Attapulgite (2.0 wt% catalyst loading) in the dibutyl phthalate-water (1:1, v:v) under microwave (600 W) at 180 °C for 10 min. In the dibutyl phthalate-water (1:1, v/v) media at 30 °C and pH 6.5, the furfural liquor (47.0 mM furfural) was biologically converted to furfuralcohol by recombinant Escherichia coli CCZU-Y10 whole-cells harboring an NADH-dependent reductase (PgCR) without extra addition of NAD+ and glucose, and furfural was completely converted to furfuralcohol after 2.5 h. Clearly, this one-pot synthesis strategy can be effectively used for furfuralcohol production.

Abstract
Formic acid/water binary solvent extraction with formic acid fraction lower than 77.5% (w/w) of azeotrope was used to extract hemicellulose-derived saccharides from poplar wood at various levels of severity. The highest xylose yield of 77.8% and arabinose yield of 93.5% were obtained at 120 °C and 1 h. To reduce cellulose hydrolysis and facilitate downstream xylose crystallization, mild conditions at 90 °C and 4 h was chosen as optimum severity, which led to the highest xylose fraction of 81.7% in all saccharides extracted, with a remarkable xylose yield of 73.1%. Mass balance analysis showed that 5.84% of xylan was degraded, but only 0.25% of xylan ended up as furfural at optimum severity. The proposed extraction process has high feasibility for industrial application since the low formic acid fraction in solvent allows simple recovery and concentration of used solvent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dilute oxalic acid pretreatment has drawn much attention because it could selectively hydrolyse the hemicellulose fraction during lignocellulose pretreatment. However, there are few studies focusing on the recovery of oxalic acid. Here, we reported a new approach to recycle oxalic acid used in pretreatment via ethanol extraction. RESULTS The highest xylose content in hydrolysate was 266.70 mg xylose per 1 g corncob (85.0% yield), which was achieved using 150 mmol/L oxalic acid under the optimized treatment condition (140 °C, 2.5 h). These pretreatment conditions were employed to the subsequent pretreatment using recycled oxalic acid. Oxalic acid in the hydrolysate could be recycled according to the following steps: (1) water was removed via evaporation and vacuum drying, (2) ethanol was used to extract oxalic acid in the remaining mixture, and (3) oxalic acid and ethanol were separated by reduced pressure evaporation. The total xylose yields could be stabilized by intermittent adding oxalic acid, and the yields were in range of 46.7-64.3% in this experiment. CONCLUSIONS This sustainable approach of recycling and reuse of oxalic acid has a significant potential application for replacing traditional dilute mineral acid pretreatment of lignocellulose, which could contribute to reduce CO2 emissions and the cost of the pretreatment.

Abstract
Furfuralcohol (FOL) is an important intermediate for the production of lysine, ascorbic acid, and lubricants. It can be used as a hypergolic fuel in rocketry. In this study, it was attempted to synthesize FOL from xylose by tandem catalysis with solid acid SO42-/SnO2-Montmorillonite and recombination Escherichia coli CCZU-K14 whole cells. Using SO42-/SnO2-Montmorillonite (3.0wt% dosage) as catalyst, a highest furfural yield of 41.9% was achieved from xylose at 170°C for 20min. Furthermore, Escherichia coli CCZU-K14 whole cells were used for bioconverting furfural to FOL. The optimum biocatalytic reaction temperature, reaction pH, cosubstrate concentration, and substrate concentration were 30°C, 6.5, 1.5mol glucose/mol furfural, and 200mM, respectively. Finally, the yield of FOL from 200mM furfural was achieved to 100% by Escherichia coli CCZU-K14 whole cells after 24h. In conclusion, this strategy show high potential application for the effective synthesis of FOL.

A feasible approach was developed to produce furfural from the pre-hydrolysis liquor of corncob via biochar catalysts as the solid acid catalyst in a new biphasic system with dichloromethane (DCM) as the organic phase and the concentrated pre-hydrolysis liquor (CPHL) containing NaCl as the aqueous phase. The biochar catalyst possessing many acidity groups (SO3H, COOH and phenolic OH groups) was prepared by the carbonization and sulfonation process of the corncob hydrolyzed residue. The influence of the catalytic condition on furfural yield and selectivity was comparatively studied. It was found that 81.14% furfural yield and 83.0% furfural selectivity were obtained from CPHL containing 5wt% xylose using this biochar catalyst in the CPHL-NaCl/DCM biphasic system at 170°C for 60min. In addition, with the regeneration process, this catalyst displayed the high performance and excellent recyclability.

Abstract
Different biobased chemicals are produced during the conversion of biomass into fuels through various feasible technologies (e.g., hydrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, and pyrolysis). The challenge of transforming these biobased chemicals with high hydrophilicity is ascribed to the high water content of the feedstock and the inevitable formation of water. Therefore, aqueous-phase processing is an interesting technology for the heterogeneous catalytic conversion of biobased chemicals. Different reactions, such as dehydration, isomerization, aldol condensation, ketonization, and hydrogenation, are applied for the conversion of sugars, furfural/hydroxymethylfurfural, acids, phenolics, and so on over heterogeneous catalysts. The activity, stability, and reusability of the heterogeneous catalysts in water are summarized, and deactivation processes and several strategies are introduced to improve the stability of heterogeneous catalysts in the aqueous phase.

Abstract
In the present study, a graded ethanol precipitation technique was employed to obtain hemicelluloses from the alkali-extracted corncob liquid. The relationship between the structural characteristics of alkali-soluble corncob hemicelluloses and the production of furfural was investigated by a heterogeneous process in a biphasic system. Results showed that alkali-soluble corncob hemicelluloses mainly consisted of glucuronoarabinoxylans and L-arabino-(4-O-methylglucurono)-D-xylans, and the drying way had less influence on the sugar composition, molecular weights and the functional groups of hemicelluloses obtained by the different ethanol concentration precipitation except for the thermal property, the amorphous structure and the ability for the furfural production. Furthermore, alkali-soluble corncob hemicelluloses with higher xylose content, lower branch degree, higher polydispersity and crystallinity contributed to the furfural production. A highest furfural yield of 45.41% with the xylose conversion efficiency of 99.06% and the furfural selectivity of 45.84% was obtained from the oven-dried hemicelluloses precipitated at the 30% (v/v) ethanol concentration.
