Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks IV: Ethanol and Other Bio-Derived Feedstocks 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: Tuesday, November 15, 2016 - 8:30am-11:00am Chair(s):Schwartz, T. J., University of Wisconsin-Madison Co-chair(s):Crossley, S., University of OklahomaPagan-Torres, Y., University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez 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.
