Abstract Silica-supported copper (Cu/SiO 2) catalysts were prepared by impregnation
assisted with organic additives and employed as an efficient catalyst for oxidant-free vapor …

The dehydration of glycerol to hydroxyacetone was studied over copper-based catalysts
using magnesium oxide (hydroxide) fluoride with various F/Mg ratio as support of copper …

A silica-supported copper (Cu/SiO2) catalyst containing highly dispersed Cu nanoparticles
was prepared via a crown-ether-assisted impregnation method. A 12-crown-4-ether-assisted …

The complex interaction between molecules and catalyst surfaces leads to great difficulties
in understanding and predicting the activity and selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Here …

In this study, Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts were used to catalyze the hydrodeoxygenation of 2, 3-
butanediol to butenes in a single reactor in the presence of hydrogen. The carbon selectivity …

This paper describes an emerging synthetic route for acetoin production via the anaerobic
dehydrogenation of 2, 3-butanediol to give a deep understanding of the specific …

Copper catalysts have been extensively applied in saccharide hydrogenolysis for their high
selectivity to C–O bond cleavage. The hydrogenolysis of glucose contains many reaction …
