Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows a cartoon for our developed process to directly obtain lactic acid from microalgae ( Scenedesmus ) by controlled release of glucose. The Monkey King casts a spell (formic acid), which forces open the cart (microalgae) dragged by the reindeer, and then sweet candies (glucose) spill and fall onto the passing mountains (Sn‐Beta zeolite), where they are broken into sour pieces (lactic acid) and finally immerge into the river (water). More information can be found in the Communication by Zan et al. onpage 2492 in Issue 15, 2018 (DOI:10.1002/cssc.201801087 )
