Recently, the valorization of organic liquid residues from agroindustry processes to produce chemicals with high-added-value has been gaining worldwide prominence due to economic and environmental concerns. Vinasse, the residue from sugarcane ethanol plants, is characterized by negative environmental impact and the presence of high market value compounds (carboxylic acids: succinic, aceti…
Production of liquid biofuels and high value-added chemicals from biomass is one of the most important challenges today, due to environmental concerns and the risk of energy shortages. Recently, several research groups have reported a number of approaches to convert six-carbon sugars (such as glucose and fructose) from biomass into a furan compound called 5-hydroxymethylfurfural or HMF. H…

Recently, an increasing effort has been devoted to the search of new self-sustainable liquid biofuels that allow overcome some limitations of ethanol, such as, low energy density, high volatility and contamination by the absorption of water from the atmosphere. 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) is a heterocyclic compound that can be used as liquid fuel and shows superior characteristics when compar…
