[EN] Alcohol oxidation is one of the most important industrial organic reactions. Traditionally, the best-suited catalysts are Pd, Pt and Au supported nanoparticles. The research community has recently started developing ...

[ES] El objetivo principal del trabajo es el estudio de un proceso para la síntesis de productos nitrogenados de alto valor añadido a partir de glicerol empleando catalizadores heterogéneos sostenibles. En concreto, el ...

[EN] The selective dehydration of glycerol to hydroxyacetone (acetol) was studied with Cu-based mixed oxides derived from hydrotalcite as catalysts in a continuous flow fix-bed reactor. Catalysts were prepared by ...

[EN] The ultimate target in heterogeneous catalysis is the achievement of robust, resilient and highly efficient materials capable of resisting industrial reaction conditions. Pursuing that goal in liquid -phase hydroformylation ...

[EN] Recently, there has been a growing interest in using MOF templating to synthesize heterogeneous catalysts based on metal nanoparticles on carbonaceous supports. Unlike the common approach of direct pyrolysis of PdIn-MOFs ...

[EN] This work reports the continuous isomerization of glucose to fructose in aqueous media under mild conditions using a mixed oxide hydrotalcite-derived catalyst based on Ca and Al. Different operational parameters of ...

[EN] An efficient process for synthesizing a high added-value N-heterocycle (2-methylpiperazine, 2-MP) via reductive amination of hydroxyacetone or acetol (product of the selective dehydration of glycerol) with ethylenediamine ...

[ES] Con el propósito de encontrar alternativas a las fuentes fósiles para la producción de productos químicos, la presente tesis se enfocará en el desarrollo de procesos catalíticos eficientes desde un punto de vista ...

[EN] Levoglucosenone, directly produced from cellulose-containing residual biomass via pyrolysis treatments, is believed to be a promising bio-renewable platform for both fine and commodity chemicals. In this work, the ...
