Beschreibung
Volume II presents the latest advances in catalytic hydrodeoxygenation and other transformations of some cellulosic platform chemicals to high value-added products. It presents the theoretical evaluation of the energetics and catalytic species involved in potential pathways of catalyzed carbohydrate conversion, pathways leading to the formation of humin-based by-products, and thermal pathways in deriving chemicals from lignin pyrolysis and hydrodeoxygenation. Catalytic gasification of biomass under extreme thermal conditions as an extension of pyrolysis is also discussed.Marcel Schlaf, PhD, is a Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Guelph, Canada.Z. Conrad Zhang, PhD, is a Professor at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Summarizes how homogeneous metal complex catalysts have been applied to the hydrodeoxygenation of sugars, polyalcohols and their derivatives and the associated reaction mechanisms Shows how theoretical approaches help us to understand the mechanisms of catalytic conversions of sugars and their condensation and decomposition pathways Discusses the mechanism of the catalytic dehydration of lactic to acrylic acid, the hydrogenolysis of lignin to reduced aromatics or its oxidation to value-added products Considers important aspects of the mechanisms of biomass pyrolysis and gasification
