Extraordinary Activity of Nanodispersed Bimetallic NiFe Phosphide Catalysts for the Conversion of a Biomass Model Compound

Oyama S.T., Cho A., Shin J., Takagaki A., Kikuchi R., The University of Tokyo, JP

The present work deals with the development of new catalysts, transition metal phosphides, which have outstanding activity for hydrodeoxygenation of pyrolysis oil. The study is significant as it leads to the production of high-energy content [...]

Microwave-mediated Pyrolysis of Biomass

Gronnow M.J., Budarin V.L., Fan J., Shuttleworth P.S., MacQuarrie D.J., Clark J.H., Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, UK

Biomass can be seen as the oil well of the future; a renewable, widely distributed resource that should be increasingly exploited for the production of heat and power, liquid fuels as well as chemicals and [...]

High-Yield Chemical Conversion of Biomass into Biofuels and Value-Added Products

Mascal M., Nikitin E.B., University of California Davis, US

We have developed a new method to efficiently convert waste biomass (agricultural, municipal forestry) into biofuels and value-added products. The process is completely chemical in nature, inexpensive, and produces no waste stream. The derived products [...]
