“…Indeed, thanks to the presence of different functionalities (furan ring and carbonyl group), furfural can undergo several chemical transformations, thus serving as a platform molecule to produce fuel additives, fine chemicals, solvents, plasticizers, and resin precursors. In most cases, the conversion of furfural into chemicals or fuels involves hydrogen transfer processes, specifically hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reactions, together with ring opening, re‐arrangement, de‐carbonylation and condensation reactions [2,3] . A plethora of interesting chemical compounds, such as furfuryl alcohol (FA), tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA), methylfuran (MF), methyl‐tetrahydrofuran (MTHFA) and pentanediols (PDs) can be obtained from the reduction of furfural (Scheme 1 a).…”

From this point of view, catalysts and experimental conditions are the main factors which impose a crucial influence on the selectivity in the reductive conversion of furfural.…”

Here, tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride‐protected colloidal iridium nanoparticles were deposited by sol‐immobilisation on three different supports (CeO2, NiO and TiO2) and were investigated for the liquid‐phase direct hydrogenation (H2 atmosphere) and catalytic transfer hydrogenation – CTH (N2 atmosphere) of furfural to study the effect of the H donor. The occurrence of strong‐metal support interactions in 1 wt % Ir/CeO2 catalyst, as disclosed by XPS, was revealed to be responsible for the high activity observed in the direct hydrogenation (81 % conversion after 6 h) and for the unusual selectivity to 2‐methylfuran (70 %) under CTH conditions. On the other hand, Ir/NiO showed peculiar selectivity to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in both H2 and N2 atmospheres (71 % and 70 %, respectively). The density functional theory calculations further showed that the unique selectivity of Ir/NiO may be ascribed to the adsorption properties of furfural on the support, which activates a dual‐site hydrogenation mechanism.

“…As already remarked, cellulose and hemicellulose have higher oxygen content than lignin and are, consequently, in principle less promising as feedstocks for hydrocarbon production than lignin. Hydrolysis of polysaccharides produces sugars (glucose, fructose, xylose) than can be later converted into furfurale [209,210] and 5-hydroxymethylfurfurale platform chemicals [211] and other furanics [212]. In fact, the most common way to exploit cellulose for the production of chemicals [213] consists of its hydrolysis producing glucose isomer, which can be later converted into some different platform chemicals.…”

The properties and the applications of the main monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, and the three xylene isomers) and the industrial processes for their manufacture from fossil raw materials are summarized. Potential ways for their production from renewable sources with thermo-catalytic processes are described and discussed in detail. The perspectives of the future industrial organic chemistry in relation to the production of high-octane bio-gasolines and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as renewable chemical intermediates are discussed.

“…We should break the concept of single production of ethanol from biomass raw materials with complex components and make full use of the three main components of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in raw materials through advanced biorefinery technology, and then turn them into different products. Finally, the goal of making full use of raw materials, maximizing product value, and maximizing land-use efficiency will be realized, and the economic feasibility of the whole process will be improved [112][113][114].…”

Lignocellulose is an abundant and renewable biomass that is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The development and utilization of lignocellulosic ethanol is an effective way to solve the energy problem/crises, In addition, lignocellulosic ethanol industry can play a significant role in controlling environmental pollution and extending agricultural industrial chain; however, it has not been able to realize large-scale industrialization due to the limitation of both biotechnology and economy. This review first introduces industrialization status of lignocellulosic ethanol, and then focuses on the progress of practical technology and analyzing the economic feasibility of the second-generation bioethanol plant; finally, the future development trend of the industry was prospected. To summarize, continuous technological innovation is needed in vital steps such as pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation. Meanwhile, for making the cellulosic ethanol industry truly economically competitive, we also need to achieve interdisciplinary, cross-domain integration innovation, such as the construction of raw material collection and storage system, in situ producing special enzyme system, high-value utilization of raw material components, developing a closely integration of biomass refinery with mature equipment and overall industrialization programs, etc. It is hoped that this review can provide a useful reference for the industrialization of second-generation bioethanol.
