Zusammenfassung: | This paper discusses significant advancements in using lignocellulosic biomass for the sustainable production of biofuels and chemicals. As fossil-based resources decline and environmental concerns rise, the paper emphasizes the role of integrated biorefineries in producing renewable liquid fuels and high-value chemicals from biomass. It highlights exploring various green pathways for biomass conversion, with a particular focus on nanocatalysis. Due to their large surface area-to-volume ratio, nanocatalysts provide enhanced catalytic activity and efficiency in biomass transformation processes. The review delves into the synthesis of value-added and furfural platform chemicals alongside the hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) into biofuels like 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran (DMTHF). The paper ultimately underscores the importance of nanotechnology in achieving high yield and selectivity in the biomass conversion process, positioning it as a promising approach for future sustainable energy and chemical production. |
