   Abstract : This thesis discusses the use of biomass as a potentially green feedstock for the chemical industry in the urgent shift away from fossil resources. I elaborate on reasons why we cannot afford to burn virgin biomass for energy production, among them a variety of ecosystem services that forests and other lands provide. READ MORE

5. 3. Synthesis of protic ionic liquids. Challenges and solutions for the synthesis of pure compounds

   Author : Eduardo Maurina Morais; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
