Lignocellulosic biomass catalytic conversion to cHemicals for a safer and greener future (En virtuel)
Résumé
Biomass will play an important role in the future of humanity, as it is a very abundant resource to provide chemicals usually obtained from fossil industry. These last years, we have seen a dramatic increase of publications reporting the conversion of biomass to chemicals, fuels and materials. Like the traditional refinery, majority of those transformations are based on a catalytic process and the development of catalysts which meet the requirements to convert real feed of biomass is becoming a hot topic. Depending of the nature of the biomass, the catalyst must be resistant to the various components and sometimes needs to work in hard operating conditions. In this presentation, we propose an overview of the most efficient catalysts employed for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass.
