Butadiene is a crucial chemical, notably for the manufacturing of car tires. The ethanol-to-
butadiene reaction has emerged as a promising solution to both environmental concerns …

We present results for the conversion of carbohydrate feedstocks to liquid alkanes by the
combination of dehydration, aldol-condensation/hydrogenation, and dehydration …

Bio-oil derived from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic materials is among the most complex
and inexpensive raw oils that can be produced today. Although commercial or …

Renewable resources and bio-based feedstocks may present a sustainable alternative to
petrochemical sources to satisfy modern society's ever-increasing demand for energy and …

Ketonization is a reaction in which two carboxylic acids convert into a ketone, carbon
dioxide, and water. While this reaction once found its industrial application for acetone …

Alcohol coupling, also known as the Guerbet reaction, is a potentially important process to
increase the value of short chain alcohols. Metal oxides, metal phosphates, and supported …

A bifunctional Pd/MgO-ZrO2 catalyst was developed for the single-reactor, aqueous phase
aldol-condensation and hydrogenation of carbohydrate-derived compounds, furfural and 5 …

Abstract Ternary Ag/Magnesia‐silica catalysts were tested in the direct synthesis of 1, 3‐
butadiene from ethanol. The influence of the silver content and the type of silica source on …

In this study, strontium-doped lanthanum ferrite perovskite oxides (LSF) with different A-site
occupancies were used as cathode catalysts for CO 2 electrolysis at 800° C. XRD, EXAFS …

In this Review, all known chemical methods for the conversion of renewable resources into
benzenoid aromatics are summarized. The raw materials that were taken into consideration …
