2017 Annual Meeting

Session: Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks V: Biomass Deconstruction and Oxygenate Processing

Catalysis can play a key role in environmentally benign production of biodegradable and/or renewable chemicals and materials. This session focuses on the catalytic production of oxygenates from biomass.
