AI Article Synopsis
- Scientists want to make chemicals in a way that is better for the environment by using materials from plants and other natural sources.
- They are looking at a new method that allows them to make these chemicals continuously, which helps them try out different ideas and scale up production more easily.
- This review talks about various methods using these plant-based chemicals to create important products like everyday chemicals, special chemicals, and fuels.
Article Abstract
In the current context of transitioning to more sustainable chemical processes, the upgrading of biobased platform molecules (i.e., the chemical transformation of widely available low molecular weight entities from biomass) is attracting significant attention, in particular when combined with enabling continuous flow conditions. The success of this combination is largely due to the ability to explore new process conditions and the perspective of facilitating seamless scalability while maintaining a small overall footprint. This review considers representative continuous flow processes which utilize a selection of currently popular platform molecules that target industrially relevant building blocks, including (a) commodity chemicals, (b) specialty and fine chemicals, and (c) fuels and fuel additives.
