Chemical routes for the conversion of cellulosic platform molecules into high-energy-density biofuels
Abstract
In this chapter, we will highlight different chemical routes to convert highly functionalized sugars (glucose and xylose) coming from the hydrolysis of nonedible lignocellulosic biomass into high-energy-density biofuels with reduced oxygen content and improved H/C ratio. Firstly, this chapter will be focused on the chemical catalytic upgrading of lignocellulosic-based platform molecules (5-HMF, levulinic acid, and furfural) to oxygenated second-generation biofuels and the effect of the blending with conventional fuels. Then, ...
