Mini-Review on the Synthesis of Furfural and Levulinic Acid from Lignocellulosic Biomass

Efficient conversion of renewable biomass into value-added chemicals and biofuels is regarded as an alternative route to reduce our high dependence on fossil resources and the associated environmental issues. In this context, biomass-based furfural and levulinic acid (LA) platform chemicals are freq...
