Millions of tons of textile waste are landfilled or incinerated in the world every year due to
insufficient recycle value streams and the complex composition of textile end products. The …

The catalytic hydrogenolysis of readily available glycerol to 1, 2-propanediol (1, 2-PD) and
1, 3-propanediol (1, 3-PD), which provides a new promising synthesis route to produce …

Selective hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived glycerol to propanediol is an important
reaction to produce high value-added chemicals but remains a big challenge. Herein we …

Among all renewable energy sources (eg, solar energy, wind, and biomass), biomass is the
only organic carbon resource which has great potential to partly replace nonrenewable …

Production of chemicals from biomass offers a promising opportunity to reduce US
dependence on imported oil, as well as to improve the overall economics and sustainability …

Abstract The metastable Ni/ZrO 2 catalysts were rationally constructed via reflux treatment
and employed for dry reforming of methane. Reflux could suppress the transformation and …

Chemical synthesis of amino acids directly from biomass feedstock is rare. Reported here is
a one‐step protocol to convert crude glycerol, from the biodiesel industry, into 43% alanine …

Biomass has attracted great attention as an alternative to petrochemicals for the production
of valuable chemicals and fuels. Hydrogenolysis reactions over heterogeneous catalysts …

Cheap fossil oil resources are becoming depleted and crude oil prices are rising. In this
context, alternatives to fossil fuel-derived carbon are examined in an effort to improve the …

A series of Cu, Ni and Cu-Ni catalysts with 20 wt% of each metal, supported on Al 2 O 3 and
ZSM-5, was prepared by wet impregnation method and tested in glycerol hydrogenolysis to …
