  1. 1. Catalyst Design for the Valorisation of Biomass-derived Furans into Aromatics

    Författare :Guido J.L. de Reijer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aromatics; 2; 5-dimethylfuran; gallium; biomass; furans; production of aromatics; zeolites; biomass conversion; catalysis;

    Sammanfattning : Anno 2023, mankind must strive towards a more sustainable chemical industry; one that does not solely rely on fossil fuels but also utilises renewable feedstocks such as biomass. Biomass can be catalytically converted into commodity chemicals such as aromatics, through intermediates like furans. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Lignocellulosic Ethanol Production: Studies on Sugarcane Bagasse, Paja Brava, Wheat Straw, Quinoa Stalks and Curupaú

    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steam pretreatment; ethanol production; SSCF; arabinosylated aromatics; SO2; H2SO4; sugarcane bagasse; paja brava; wheat straw; quinoa stalks; Anadenanthera colubrina;

    Sammanfattning : Lignocellulosic biomass refers to plant material that is composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. These materials are today of large interest to researchers in the field of biofuel and bioenergy. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Green Aromatics: Catalytic Valorisation of bio-derived 2,5-dimethylfuran over Zeolites and Zeotypes

    Författare :Christopher Sauer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biomass conversion; infrared spectroscopy; BTX Aromatics; 2; 5-dimethylfuran; Zeolite; Catalysis; Online Analysis; Zeotype;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses the use of biomass as a potentially green feedstock for the chemical industry in the urgent shift away from fossil resources. I elaborate on reasons why we cannot afford to burn virgin biomass for energy production, among them a variety of ecosystem services that forests and other lands provide. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Enhanced Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass for High-Quality Biofuel Production

    Författare :Devy Kartika Ratnasari; Weihong Yang; Pär Jönsson; Tobias Richards; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Al-MCM-41; lignocellulose biomass; H-ZSM-5; kinetic study; catalyst regeneration;

    Sammanfattning : The rapid increase in energy demand, the extensive use of fossil fuels, and the urgent need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions have raised concerns in the transportation sector, since transportation has been primarily dependent on fossil fuels. Biofuel from biomass can make significant contributions to overcome the expected depletion of fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Microbial and enzymatic syntheses of polymer building blocks through selective transformations of polyols and furans

MS1601; G. oxydans; oxidase; lipase; trimethylolpropane TMP ; 2; 2- bis hydroxymethyl butyric acid BHMB ; 5-hydroxymethyl furfural 5-HMF ; 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furan carboxylic acid HMFCA ; 2; 5-furandicarboxylic acid FDCA ; cyclic carbonate ; estrification; Biotransformation; polymer building blocks; product recovery; selective oxidation; bioprocess engneering; cell recycling; cell bleeding; DNA recombinant technology; in-silico analysis;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractTransition from fossil- to bio-based economy is a critical step towards reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and hence for achievement of sustainable communities and environment. In order to be fossil-free, the chemical and material industry is in need of carbon-neutral building blocks from renewable resources for the diverse array of products that are currently produced from olefins and aromatics.
