Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA) are two promising platform chemicals. They can be produced from carbohydrate or lignocellulosic feedstock via acid hydrolysis. Despite th e potential importance of HMF and LA and extensive research on them at the laboratory level\, few commercial production plants have been reported.\n \nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense . Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates. \n DTSTART:20170804T171500Z DTEND:20170804T171500Z LOCATION:MS2-022 (Faculty Lounge)\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Sustainable synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and levulinic acid URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defense-sustain able-synthesis-5-hydroxymethylfurfural-and-levulinic-acid-268929 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
