Reaction Pathways and Mechanisms in Thermocatalytic Biomass by Marcel Schlaf,Z. Conrad Zhang

By Marcel Schlaf,Z. Conrad Zhang

Volume I ordinarily makes a speciality of the present realizing of the response pathways and mechanisms inquisitive about a number of very important catalytic conversions of cellulose and carbohydrates. It begins with nanoscale illustrations of biomass buildings and describes a variety of reactions together with cellulose depolymerization to sugars, catalytic aldose-ketose isomerization and dehydration, selective oxidation, hydrogenolysis of cellulose and sugars, and the conversion of brief carbohydrates. The specificity and serve as of other catalysts and response media with regards to the catalytic performances for those reactions are mentioned with major mechanistic details.
