Pd doped mesoporous biochar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. (2024)
Thesis
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...

Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate a novel continuous flow process involving the application of tetralin as a hydrogen
donor solvent for the catalytic conversion of oleic acid to diesel-like hydrocarbons, using an efficient and stable carbon...

Choosing physical, physicochemical and chemical methods of pre-treating lignocellulosic wastes to repurpose into solid fuels (2019)
Journal Article
Taylor, M. J., Alabdrabalameer, H. A., & Skoulou, V. (2019). Choosing physical, physicochemical and chemical methods of pre-treating lignocellulosic wastes to repurpose into solid fuels. Sustainability, 11(13), Article 3604. https://doi.org/10.3390/su11133604

Various methods of physical, chemical and combined physicochemical pre-treatments for biomass waste valorization to value added feedstock for downstream processes in Chemical Industries have been reviewed. Where relevant literature was scrutinized fo... Read More about Choosing physical, physicochemical and chemical methods of pre-treating lignocellulosic wastes to repurpose into solid fuels.
