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 ...
Effect of protic and aprotic polar solvents on the heterogeneous catalytic conversion of hexoses
(2018-12-12)
We studied the synthesis, the characterization and the solvent effect on the catalytic performance of materials with Brønsted or Lewis acidity on the hexose conversion towards value-added molecules such as 5-(hydroxymeth ...
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 ...
