One‐Step Lignocellulose Fractionation by using 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic Acid as a Biogenic and Recyclable Catalyst

To develop novel biorefinery concepts, the use of bio‐based catalysts and solvents must be aligned with the principles of green chemistry. In this context, biogenic 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a very promising yet underused molecule with high potential for application as an acid catalyst, combining feasibility and sustainability with efficient and straightforward recovery. In this study, FDCA was evaluated as a catalyst in the recently...
