  1. 1. Fractionation of woody biomass : lignin and suberin in focus

    Författare :Ivan Kumaniaev; Joseph Samec; Claudia Crestini; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lignocellulose; lignin; suberin; biomass; palladium; catalysis; flow chemistry; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is dedicated to the research of fractionation and valorization of different types of woody biomass. In the first part, oak (Quercus suber) and birch (Betula pendula) barks are considered. Bark is the outer layer of wood and is treated as waste in the current wood processing technologies. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Catalytic valorization of lignocellulose : Direct and sidestream upgrading approaches

    Författare :Davide Di Francesco; Joseph Samec; Orlando Rojas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lignin; biomass; catalytic fractionation; dearomatization; heterogeneous catalysis; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : This work aims to explore different approaches for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. In this regard, two different strategies are presented: the catalytic upgrading of lignocellulose derivatives from industrial streams, such as pyrolytic oil and kraft lignin, and the direct catalytic fractionation of woody biomass.

  4. 3. Palladium-catalyzed lignin valorization : Towards a lignin-based biorefinery

    Författare :Maxim Galkin; Joseph Samec; Rafael Luque; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Lignin; Heterogeneous Catalysis; Palladium; Biomass; Depolymerization; Reduction; Oxidation; Biorefinery; Transfer Hydrogenolysis; Organic Chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The work described in this thesis focuses on the cleavage of the β-O-4′ bond, which is the most abundant interunit linkage in the lignin polymer.In the first part, three methods based on palladium catalysis have been developed and their applicability has been verified using lignin model compounds.

  5. 4. Sustainable valorization of Biomass into Syngas/H2 via Biocarbon catalyst

    Författare :Hanmin Yang; Weihong Yang; Pär Jönsson; Linda Sandström; Chunfei Wu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pyrolysis; Catalytic upgrading; Biomass; Biochar; Syngas; Hydrogen; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental issues stemming from the rapid growth in global energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions require urgent resolutions. Biomass represents a viable alternative for displacing fossil fuels, as its energy can be converted into electricity, heat, fuels, and chemical precursors, thus substituting petrochemicals. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Valorization of biomass related substrates into value added chemicals : Hydrogen transfer catalysis

    Författare :Nitish Kumar Garg; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biomass; levulinic acid; hydrosilylation; borrowing-hydrogen; N-alkylation;

    Sammanfattning : In the current global scenario, it is evident that global warming and climate change are primarily driven by emissions stemming from the utilization of fossil fuels. Yet, if we look around, most of what we see is made from or linked to fossil fuels and it clearly shows our over-dependency on fossil fuels and hence there is a significant need to develop alternate sources of energy and raw materials to tackle these problems.
