Fast pyrolysis converts> 60 wt% of lignocellulosic materials into bio-oil. The two-step bio-oil
hydrotreatment concept has had a major impact in the development of bio-oil hydro …

The utilization of CO2 as a carbon source for synthesis of value-added chemicals and fuels,
particularly light olefins, is one of the most attractive routes to convert CO2 as part of a large …

In the present work, the preparation and use of new supported transition metal carbides as
catalyst for the conversion of guaiacol was investigated. Several metals (Mo, Re, Ru, Ni, Fe …

Universal oxygen removal of depolymerized lignin molecules is a desirable route to funnel
complex mixtures of bioderived molecules to high-demand “drop-in” petrochemical …

Lignin exhibits a good prospect as an abundant and sustainable raw material for the
production of value-added chemicals. Transition metal carbides and nitrides are very …

The role of the synthesis method of molybdenum carbide nanoparticle catalysts supported
on carbon nanofibers on crystal structure and on catalytic performance in …

In this work, we present a hybrid fundamental-empirical model to monitor and predict the
catalyst lifetime of an operating industrial reactor. The hybrid model combines a fundamental …

Metal carbides, phosphides, and nitrides provide a significant opportunity for catalyst tuning
by choice of ligand and composition. With new methods of preparation that reduce synthesis …

Advanced catalytic materials play an enabling role in producing renewable fuels and
chemicals from biomass, thereby helping meet the global climate-change goals set forth by …

Supported bimetallic molybdenum and tungsten carbides are viable replacements for noble
metal catalysts and are suitable for the decarboxylation/decarbonylation and (hydro-) …
