Research interest in biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals has increased significantly
in the last decade as the necessity for a renewable source of carbon has become more …

In view of the diminishing oil resources and the ongoing climate change, the use of efficient
and environmentally benign technologies for the utilization of renewable resources has …

New opportunities for the conversion of glycerol into value-added chemicals have emerged
in recent years as a result of glycerol's unique structure, properties, bioavailability, and …

Glycerol conversion into chemicals and fuel additives is pursued to valorise a burgeoning by-
product in the bioenergy sector. To this aim, heterogeneous catalysts have been developed …

Formation of stable iron hydrides on more nucleophilic (electron-rich) metal centers than
those found in hydrogenases with CO ligands would inhibit or at least slow down function …

Transition metal hydride complexes are usually amphoteric, not only acting as hydride
donors, but also as Brønsted–Lowry acids. A simple additive ligand acidity constant …

The production of renewable chemicals is gaining attention over the past few years. The
natural resources from which they can be derived in a sustainable way are most abundant in …

Aqueous solutions of glycerol were hydrogenolysed at 180° C under 80 bar H2-pressure in
the presence of supported metal catalysts in an attempt to selectively produce 1, 2-and 1, 3 …

Of the various noble metals (Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Pd/C) and acid catalysts [an ion-
exchange resin (Amberlyst), H2SO4 (aq), and HCl (aq)], the combination of Ru/C with …

Today, the price of glycerol has dramatically dropped due to its oversupply from biodiesel
production as well as oleochemical industry. Thus, it is essential to develop processes to …
