FORCE-IICS Conference 2023

17 Oct 2023

By Claire Mitchell, Assistant Editor.

On September 28 – October 1, 2023, Hyatt Regency in Nepal organised the FORCE-IICS conference bringing together scientists and facilitating the exchange of ideas on a platform entitled FORCE themed: Interdisciplinary Initiative in Chemical Sciences (IICS)

RSC Advances provided some general sponsorship money for the event, and proudly sponsored members of Tribhuvan University, Nepal, to attend the event; Prof. Dr. A. P. Yadav, and PhD students Ms. Asmita Shrestha, Ms. Maya Das, and Ms. Anju Das.

We are delighted that RSC Advances Associate Editor Prof. Vandana Bhalla also attended and presented at the event, sharing her support for the journal.

From left to right: Prof. Sandeep Verma, IIT Kanpur (Assoc. Editor, Chem. Commun.); Prof. Dr. A. P. Yadav, Tribhuvan University, Nepal; Prof. Vandana Bhalla (Assoc. Editor RSC Advances); Ms. Asmita Shrestha, Ph.D. Student, Tribhuvan University, Nepal; Ms. Maya Das, Ph.D. Student, Tribhuvan University, Nepal; Ms. Anju Das, Ph.D. Student, Tribhuvan University, Nepal

Event organiser Professor Vishal Rai, from IISER Bhopal, India, commented “FORCE-IICS-2023 was empowered by 106 participants from eight countries. The multidisciplinary scientific brainstorming over three days included 45 lectures and 50 poster presentations. It also enabled the engagement with the Chemical Science community from Nepal.”

Themed collection: Chemistry in Biorefineries

06 Oct 2023

By Sarah Rainford, Deputy Editor.

RSC Advances is delighted to present this themed collection titled ‘Chemistry in Biorefineries’.

This collection aims to deepen the current knowledge of chemistry in biorefineries. The non-renewable nature of fossil fuels makes the current economic model unsustainable. The biorefinery concept, which takes traditional refineries as a starting point and adapts them to environmentally friendly processes based on bioresources as raw materials, has attracted the interest of a large number of scientists. Achieving a sustainable production of bio-based fuels, chemicals and materials requires a deep understanding of the chemistry behind biorefining processes.

This collection has been Guest Edited by Professor Alejandro Rodríquez Pascual (Universidad de Cordoba), Professor Fabio Montagnaro (University of Naples Federico II) and Professor Carlos Martín Medina (Umeå University and Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences). They provide an overview of the collection in this accompanying Editorial.

A selection of articles have been highlighted below, and you can view the full collection here.

Variable lignin structure revealed in Populus leaves
Nathan Bryant, Nancy Engle, Timothy Tschaplinski, Yunqiao Pu and Arthur J. Ragauskas
RSC Adv., 2023, 13, 20187-20197

From liquid to solid-state, solvent-free oxidative ammonolysis of lignins – an easy, alternative approach to generate “N-lignins”
Gerhild K. Wurzer, Markus Bacher, Oliver Musl, Nadine Kohlhuber, Irina Sulaeva, Theres Kelz, Karin Fackler, Robert H. Bischof, Hubert Hettegger, Antje Potthast and Thomas Rosenau
RSC Adv., 2023, 13, 9479-9490

Lignocellulosic residues from bioethanol production: a novel source of biopolymers for laccase immobilization

Conference special issue: 6th EuChemS Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry

08 Aug 2023

By Sarah Rainford, Deputy Editor.

In celebration of the 6th EuChemS Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry, a series of journals across the Royal Society of Chemistry are hosting a themed collection to celebrate research in this area. As a global society publisher, the RSC positions itself as a leading voice for the chemical sciences, which puts sustainability in the spotlight. We recognise the potential of the chemical sciences to provide innovative solutions to the most pressing challenges – and the importance of giving a platform to scientists whose discoveries catalyse global change.

The journals that are available to receive submissions in response to this open call include Catalysis Science & Technology, Green Chemistry, RSC Advances, Reaction Chemistry & Engineering and RSC Sustainability.

This collection will celebrate both the vibrant and collaborative spirit of the conference, and the contribution green & sustainable chemistry makes to solving global challenges.

The scope of this collection covers the breadth of green & sustainable chemistry, with emphasis on the following areas:

Alternative fuels and green energy
Benign low-energy chemical processes
Biomass and CO2 utilization
Green chemistry metrics and environmental assessment
Pollution prevention and remediation
Sustainable catalytic, industrial and synthetic processes
Waste recycling and valorisation and the circular (bio)economy

The submission deadline is 1st April 2024.

Manuscripts should be submitted via the Royal Society of Chemistry’s online submission service and the Editorial Office informed by email. Please state the code “XX6GCEUC24” in the “Comments to the Editor” submission question when you submit your manuscript, to indicate that this is a submission for the themed collection.

Please note that while we welcome submissions to all journals listed above, we are unable to guarantee peer review or eventual acceptance in your chosen journal. If a submission is not found to be suitable for the chosen journal, we will endeavour to find the most suitable home within the portfolio of journals included.

The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of the collection and inclusion of accepted articles in the collection is not guaranteed. All manuscripts will be subject to the journal’s usual peer review process. Accepted manuscripts will be added to the online collection as soon as they are online and they will be published in a regular issue of the journal.
