Ketonization of (biomass) carboxylic acids is increasingly showing its potential as upgrading
strategy to renewable fuels and chemicals. Due to the growing amount of recent studies, an …

Reducibility is an essential characteristic of oxide catalysts in oxidation reactions following
the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism. A typical descriptor of the reducibility of an oxide is the …

Thermal conversion of biomass via pyrolysis, torrefaction, or liquefaction is an attractive
process with significant economic potential. The main challenge of this technology is the …

Carboxylic acids play a fundamental role in the transformation of biomass into liquid fuels
and other useful chemicals. In order to reduce the O/C content of biofuels, carboxylic acids …

The scope of this work is to study at atomistic level the mechanism of hydrogen spillover
promoted by metal particles on oxide surfaces. By means of Density Functional Theory …

Ketonization of carboxylic acids removes O-atoms and forms new CC bonds, thus providing
routes from sustainable carbon feedstocks to fuels and chemicals. The elementary steps …

The ketonization of various renewable biomass-derived oxygenated feedstocks such as
carboxylic acids, aldehydes, alcohols, and esters is presented. As most previous …

Catalytic conversion of pyrolysis vapor from biomass was performed over CeO 2 catalysts to
produce ketones. Thermogravimetric-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TG-GC/MS) …

Catalytic ketonization of carboxylic acids is promising for the synthesis of renewable
products. Despite its potential, fatty acid ketonization and its kinetics in the liquid phase are …

The effects of water on the carboxylic acid ketonization reaction over solid Lewis-acid
catalysts were examined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, diffuse …
