CATALYST EVOLUTION VIA DYNAMIC COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY
(2010)Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is a combinatorial method of synthesis utilizing complex mixtures under thermodynamic control, called dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCL). The addition of a template molecule which ... -
Catalytic Reactions for Upgrading Bio-oils and Petroleum Fuels
(2010)The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has derived the tremendous interest of our society in making uses of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ... -
Combined Experimental and Computational Studies of Model Compounds to Gain Understanding of Catalytic Upgrading of Bio-Oils
(2011)Scientific research is mainly based upon observation and experiment, and accordingly, the purpose of theoretical study is to provide the conceptual framework for the prediction and explanation of observation. Consequently, ... -
CONTROLLED GROWTH AND METROLOGY OF CARBON NANOTUBES ON SUPPORTED Co-Mo CATALYSTS
(2011)Studies related to selectivity assessment and yield upgrade of different types of Carbon Nanotubes have been conducted in order to determine the optimum supported Co-Mo catalysts design to achieve the desired performance. -
Conversion of Oxygenates from Biomass-Derived Compounds over Supported Metal Catalysts
(2012)The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has caused the tremendous interest of our society in making use of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ... -
PRODUCTION OF ALKYL-AROMATICS FROM LIGHT OXYGENATES OVER ZEOLITE CATALYSTS FOR BIO-OIL REFINING
(2010)Upgrading of light oxygenates derived from biomass conversion, such as propanal and glycerol, to more valuable aromatics for biofuels has been demonstrated on zeolite catalysts. Aromatics with a high ratio of C9/(C8+C7) ... -
Solid Acid Catalyzed Polysaccharide Hydrolysis
(2012)In addition to the rising costs of gasoline and the depletion of fossil fuels, air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels has increased the need to develop alternative renewable fuels. One possible alternative is the ...
