2015 AIChE Annual Meeting Proceedings

Session: Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks: Chemicals & Fuels V

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.
