Abstract
The front cover shows the pyrolysis-based saccharification of cellulosic biomass such as wood, which consists of levoglucosan production by fast pyrolysis followed by hydrolysis of levoglucosan to glucose as a key intermediate for the production of biochemicals and biofuels. In this study, levoglucosan is efficiently hydrolyzed to glucose by solid acid catalyst under microwave irradiation. More details can be found in the Research Article by Haruo Kawamoto, Takashi Nomura, and Eiji Minami (DOI: 10.1002/open.202300311).
期刊介绍:
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
