Tribute to Daedalus: Fertile mind that led to unexpected places (2017)
Journal Article

Tribute to Daedalus, David E.H. Jones.

Valorisation of lignin by depolymerisation and fractionation using supercritical fluids and conventional solvents (2017)
Journal Article

A procedure for Lignosulphonate valorisation is investigated. An attempt has been made to obtain diverse value-added products maximizing the atom economy. This procedure is carried in sequential steps starting with an oxidative depolymerization in su...

Continuous Photo-Oxidation in a Vortex Reactor: Efficient Operations Using Air Drawn from the Laboratory (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 American Chemical Society. We report the construction and use of a vortex reactor which uses a rapidly rotating cylinder to generate Taylor vortices for continuous flow thermal and photochemical reactions. The reactor is designed to operate un... Read More about Continuous Photo-Oxidation in a Vortex Reactor: Efficient Operations Using Air Drawn from the Laboratory.

Continuous niobium phosphate catalysed Skraup reaction for quinoline synthesis from solketal (2017)
Journal Article

Solketal is derived from the reaction of acetone with glycerol, a by-product product of the biodiesel industry. We report here the continuous reaction of solketal with anilines over a solid acid niobium phosphate (NbP), for the continuous generation...

Continuous N-alkylation reactions of amino alcohols using ?-Al2O3 and supercritical CO2: unexpected formation of cyclic ureas and urethanes by reaction with CO2 (2017)
Journal Article

The use of ?-Al2O3 as a heterogeneous catalyst in scCO2, has be successfully applied to the amination of alcohols for the synthesis of N-alkylated heterocycles. The optimal reaction conditions (temperature and substrate flow rate) were determined usi...
