The selective hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde in liquid phase, at a temperature of 353 K and a H2 pressure of 400 kPa, is studied over different palladium- and platinum-based catalysts (Pd−Pb/α-Al2O3, Pd−Zn/α-Al2O3, Pd/ZnO, ...

The liquid-phase hydrogenation of citral was studied at 393 K and 10 bar on Pt-Co/C catalysts, having different Pt/(Pt+Co) ratios and containing a total metal loading of about 2%. The monometallic and bimetallic Pt-Co/C ...

Furfural can be converted into a wide range of high-octane products like 2-methylfuran (2-MF) through hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). Iron-based catalyst (Fe/SiO2), has shown high selectivity for gas phase conversion of furfural ...

In the present paper, the catalytic hydrogenation of some terpenes is discussed. Catalysts employed were silica supported Pt and Pt modified by tin addition using techniques derived from surface organometallic chemistry ...

Small metallic clusters -mediated gas phase catalysis studies give lights to understand simple and complex catalytic processes, and help in the discovery and explanation of non-traditional “molecular-scale” catalytic ...

Cobalt and Iron based catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) are a promising alternative to the use of Pt in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEMFC). A systematic study on the influence of the nitrogenated ligand ...

Glycerol is the main byproduct of biodiesel production and its increased production volume derives from the increasing demand for biofuels. The conversion of glycerol to hydrogenrich mixtures presents an attractive route ...
