Selective hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-derived oxygenates over heterogeneous Mo-based catalysts
(2021-07)
The development of catalytic pathways to produce commodity chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass is promising for substituting non-renewable fossil feedstock use. This dissertation studied the catalytic performance of ...
Catalytic conversion of biomass renewable feedstocks to platform molecules using Brønsted acid catalysts
(2018-05)
The fractionation of sugarcane bagasse, plantain peel and brewer’s spent grains to
glucose, xylose and lignin was studied using 0.50 and 0.05 wt% H2SO4 as catalyst in a
mixture of 80:20 wt% γ-valerolactone:water. We ...
DFT analysis on structure-property relationships of metal-substituted zeolites
(2018-05)
Metal-modified zeolites have proven to be effective catalysts for various important reactions involving the transformation of biomass-derived molecules and the conversion of greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4. In this ...
