Co-Aromatization of Furan and Methanol over ZSM-5 - A Pathway to Bio-Aromatics

Aromatization of furan and substituted furans over zeolite catalysts is a promising reaction to convert cellulose-derived compounds into valuable aromatic hydrocarbons and light olefins. A lack of understanding of the reaction mechanism however hinders further development of this process. Here, we propose the reaction mechanism, underlying...

C5-technology in Pseudomonas putida S12: Construction, analysis and implementation of D-xylose metabolic pathways

The rising price of oil and impending deficit of fossil resources stimulate the development of alternative processes for the production of chemicals. The production of biochemicals from lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative. Lignocellulosic biomass consists of a mixture of sugars that can be converted into valuable products or...
