Multicomponent catalytic converters

The synthesis of novel materials (particularly multicomponent materials) with unusual properties for uses as catalytic converters is gaining interest [72]. Thus, nanoporous structures of materials obtained by high-US agglomeration of monodispersed nanoparticles exhibit excellent properties and do not require the thermal post-treatment usually needed for the crystallization of amorphous materials or removal of surfactants [73]. 

Biorefineries New catalytic pretreatment of plant materials Valorization, pretreatment or disposal of co-products and wastes from biorefinery by catalytic treatments New and/or improved catalytic processes for chemicals production through the integration of the biorefinery concept and products into the existing chemical production chain New advanced catalytic solutions to reduce waste emissions (solid, air and, especially, water) New catalysts to selectively de-oxygenate products from biomass transformation Catalysts to selectively convert chemicals in complex multicomponent feedstocks New biomimetic catalysts able to operate under mild conditions Small catalytic pyrolysis process to produce stabilized oil for further processing in larger plants...
