With a paradigm shift in the raw inventory in the chemical industry, including the pharmaceutical, refinery and manufacturing industry, a race has begun among the catalysis chemists to explore the feasibility of extending the use of the conventional and classical industrial catalysts (for examples, zeolites, modified alumina, polyoxometalates, noble and non-noble metal based supported catalysts, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid) used for the conversion of bio-based resources to fine and bulk chemicals and biomaterials. Breakthroughs as vital as the two Nobel prize-winning epochal inventions like the activation of elemental nitrogen and hydrogen on iron surface leading to ammonia synthesis, as well as the elucidation of the reaction mechanism of ammonia synthesis process attributed to the Haber Bosch and the Gerhard Ertl, respectively, are anticipated in the realm of the catalytic conversion of biomass to fine and bulk chemicals as well as the biomaterials. Thus, the innovative catalytic processes described in the 10 landmark papers composed in the form of reprint constitute a reliable and indispensable user manual for the upcoming biorefinery facilities, especially dealing with lignocellulosic feedstock.
