Evidently, the global demand for oil products is bound to increase and is predicted to reach
5700× 106 t/year by 2030. 1 In addition to expected oil price increases, further increases in …

Bimetallic PtSn catalysts, containing different amounts of tin, were obtained by means of
controlled surface reactions and used in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of furfural. All the …

In this work, the liquid-phase chemoselective hydrogenation of furfural was studied,
employing Pt, Rh and Ni-based catalysts. Bimetallic systems, containing different amounts of …

The production and use of terpene-based fuels represents a renewable source of energy in
the transportation sector, especially in the aviation sector. The literature on the conversion of …

Pt and PtSn catalysts supported on oxide and carbonaceous materials have been studied
for the regioselective and chemoselective hydrogenation of citral and carvone. The influence …

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable carbon source for the production of
chemicals used in plastics, polymers, and other materials, replacing monomers derived from …

Ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles were prepared using polyoxyethylene–polyoxypropylene–
polyoxyethylene triblock copolymer (P123) micelles in water as a stabilizing agent. The …
