Important raw materials are obtained from waste pulp from the wood and paper industry. These include levulinic acid, from the processing of which we obtain fuel additives, plasticizers and cosmetic ingredients. These articles describe sustainable methods for their preparation by convenient iron(III)-based catalysts.

Emerging catalysis in biomass valorisation: simple Zn(II) catalysts for fatty acids esterification and transesterification

chemistry europe

Scientific research is premised on knowledge of the state of the art. This paper summarizes what is known about the conversion of biomass to bioproducts by zinc(II)-catalyzed reactions. The study was the starting point for much of Isuschem’s research, which has led to innovation in the field.
