⚗️📝🚨 Chemistry paper alert: About 10 years ago we noticed that photo-oxidation of furfural in non-nucleophilic solvents delivers a 1/1 mix of maleic anhydride and the corresponding butenolide. No explanation was found until now. Jonas finally cracked that mistery case! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Efficient continuous flow oxidation of furfural to maleic anhydride using O2 as a green oxidant

This research investigates different oxidative pathways to obtain maleic anhydride starting from the biorenewable furfural in continuous flow. A single step O21 oxidation towards maleic anhydride was ...

⚗️📝 Paper alert: It's not because a solvent is bio-based and benign that we shouldn't consider good recycling strategies. Andreas Dejaeger nicely demonstrates how dihydrolevoglucosenone can be recovered from reaction mixtures by using membrane separation techniques: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Cyrene, or dihydrolevoglucosenone (DHL), is a biobased and biodegradable solvent that can be produced in two steps from cellulose. It has properties similar to dipolar aprotic solvents such as NMP and...

Choosing a field of study when starting higher education is a difficult and potentially life changing decision. So, this weekend, Stef Ghysels and myself tried to explain to highschool graduates what a master's degree in Bioscience Engineering: Chemistry and Bioprocess technology actually entails.

After a fantastic year of chemistry, filled with both scientific struggles and breakthroughs, it's the groups team spirit and collaboration that matters most. So, after this fun teambuilding, we'll continue to 'slip' into bluer skies in 2025! Best wishes to all!
