The heterogeneously catalyzed conversion of biomass into fuel and fine chemicals is a new research field of particular attraction and relevance to the Brazilian national economy. While a wide range of suitable catalysts (as zeolites and mesoporous materials) have been studied in laboratory scale, at the present time no large-scale industrial plant utilizing such catalysts are in operation…
The present research aims at the development of supported catalysts to promote the conversion of biogenic molecules (e.g. sugars, lignin fractions and others) into chemicals. The central idea is to prepare hybrid meso/macroporous glasses that are sufficiently stable to the corrosive environment of the biomass chemical conversion. The use of glasses as supports allow achieving the desired …
