Hydrogenolysis of cork has been examined using a range of precious metal catalysts
studying the effect of the support, added base and solvent used. The addition of a catalyst …

Hydrogenolysis of bark from three different species of tree using heterogeneous platinum
group metal catalysts produces two major product streams. Aromatic substituted guaiacols …

To date the upgrading of bio-oils has primarily been achieved by means of acid
catalyzedcracking or hydrotreating. Given that hydrotreating requires large volumes of …

BACKGROUND: Biomass is the only renewable feedstock containing carbon, and therefore
the only alternative to fossil‐derived crude oil derivatives. However, the main problems …

Biomass carbohydrates are fractionated very cleanly (> 99%) from unreacted insoluble
lignin by a dilute acid hydrolysis (0.35–1.5% H3PO4), wherein the incipient aldoses are …

CATALYTIC GENERATION OF HYDROGEN AND CHEMICALS FROM BIOMASS DERIVED
POLYOLS by Bo Liu BS in Chemical Engineering, Nanjing Uni Page 1 CATALYTIC …

Biomass derived polyols represent one of the most attractive resources for modern bio-
refineries that need renewable feedstocks directly convertible into chemicals, biofuels and …

The almond industry leaves behind substantial amounts of by-products, with almond hulls
being the primary residue generated. Given that one way to improve food security is by …

A kinetic evaluation of successive stages of the catalytic hydrogenolysis of starch was
studied using a ruthenium catalyst to quantify the parameters for the production of polyols …

Lignin depolymerisation to simple aromatics was investigated by using a mild microwave-
assisted approach. The reaction was catalysed by different supported metal nanoparticles …
