LowBiomass
Title: Low-impact catalytic processes for the conversion of non-edible plant biomass to high added value chemicals
ICCOM Principal Investigator: Pierluigi Barbaro
Project Type: International
Duration: 02/2015-02/2017
Abstract: The project will carry out activities in the following fields: Synthesis and characterization of catalysts based on transition metal nanoparticles supported on commercial insoluble solids . Use of the catalysts prepared in conversion reactions of vegetable biomass to fine chemical in batch reactors and under flow, study of the process parameters , evaluation of the stability and the possibility of recycling of the catalysts , optimization of the low-energy reaction conditions
