Abstract
at 40 °C and pH 5. Additionally, the influence of substrate concentration, residence time, and reaction temperature was assessed for process intensification. This dual-step process exemplifies a green and scalable pathway, merging heterogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis for the valorization of biomass into high-value bio-based chemicals. The approach provides a forward-looking model for industrial adoption of sustainable oxidation technologies in the development of environmentally friendly polymers.
