Biomass Platform Chemicals Catalyzed By Aqueous-Phase Catalysts
Author(s): Abiodun Musa*
Through catalytic transformations such as dehydration, hydrogenation, oxidation, isomerization, reforming, ketonization, and aldol condensation over heterogeneous catalysts, a number of platform molecules derived from biomass, such as glucose, furans, levulinic acid, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and acetic acids, can be transformed into a variety of value-added chemicals. Given the high water content of the biomass and the creation of water during the catalytic conversion process, aqueous-phase processing is a significant concern and a major obstacle for the heterogeneous catalytic conversion of biobased compounds. Noble metal catalysts, non-noble metal catalysts, bimetallic catalysts, metal oxides, and zeolite are among the heterogeneous catalysts that are applicable to the aqueous-phase conversion process of biomass platform chemicals in this paper. A thorough evaluation of the catalyst.. View More»
