    • Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass and Polymer Wastes 

      Zhang, Laibao; Bao, Zhenghong; Xia, Shunxiang; Lu, Qiang; Walters, Keisha (2018-12-13)
      Oil produced by the pyrolysis of biomass and co-pyrolysis of biomass with waste synthetic polymers has significant potential as a substitute for fossil fuels. However, the relatively poor properties found in pyrolysis ...

    • CATALYTIC UPGRADING OF SUGAR DERIVATIVES 

      Jain, Diken (2016-08-12)
      With industrial revolution there has been a huge increase in demand for petroleum-based fuel. Detrimental effects on environment due to unprecedented use of fossil fuels and shortage in its availability has spurred the ...

    • A DFT STUDY OF THE CATALYTIC HYDRODEOXYGENATION OF ANISOLE ON A RHODIUM CATALYST 

      Aruho, Darius (2018-05)
      Heterogeneous catalysis is an integral part of chemical industry. Additionally, the surge in biomass research has necessitated a need for newer and effective catalysts to upgrade biomass and its constituents: - lignin, ...

    • Life cycle assessment of biochar versus metal catalysts used in syngas cleaning 

      Frazier, R. Scott; Jin, Enze; Kumar, Ajay (MDPI, 2015-01-15)
      Biomass gasification has the potential to produce renewable fuels, chemicals and power at large utility scale facilities. In these plants catalysts would likely be used to reform and clean the generated biomass syngas. ...
