Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks I: C-O Bond Activation Conference: AIChE Annual MeetingYear: 2016Proceeding: 2016 AIChE Annual MeetingGroup: Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division Type: Oral Room: Franciscan B Location: Hilton San Francisco Union Square Time: Monday, November 14, 2016 - 8:00am-10:30am Chair(s):Yan, N., National University of Singapore Co-chair(s):Luterbacher, J. S., Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne Catalysis can play a key role in environmentally benign production of biodegradable and/or renewable chemicals and materials. This season focuses on catalyst and catalytic process development for producing chemicals and fuels from biomass, petroleum, and coal.
