Hornsby, K. Pd doped mesoporous biochar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866518

The quest to develop Pd doped, sustainable catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene resulted in the synthesis of two families of materials. Derived from lignocellulosic biomass residues, specifically barley straw, bulk and mesopor...

Journal Article
Taylor, M. J., Hornsby, K., Cheah, K. W., Hurst, P., Walker, S., & Skoulou, V. (2024). Repurposing lignin rich biorefinery waste streams into the next generation of sustainable solid fuels. Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment, 7, Article 100123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scenv.2024.100123

Value added lignin rich waste sludges from biorefinery processes are, as yet untapped valuable feedstocks that can be reformed into clean, high quality solid fuels. By water washing sludges produced from base hydrolyzed waste, a material stripped of...
