  1. 6. Research on the Hydrothermal Conversion of Xylose Catalysed by CO2-H2O into Furfural

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Robert Liao; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Agricultural waste treatment and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion have been critical challenges for sustainable development. This work is part of a study on converting straw into biofuels, which involves using xylose as the material, carbon dioxide (CO2) as the catalyst, and water (H2O) and Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent to produce furfural through hydrothermal conversion.
