(407g) From First Principles to Chemical Manufacturing of Renewable Chemicals
AIChE Annual Meeting
2018
2018 AIChE Annual Meeting
Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division
In Honor of the 2018 CRE Young Investigator Award Winner (Invited Talks)
Tuesday, October 30, 2018 - 5:40pm to 6:00pm
In this talk, we will discuss modern technologies that rely on biomass degradation to simple derivatives, such as sugars, followed by a number of reactions, such as Lewis and Brønsted acid catalyst driven isomerization and dehydration to convert sugars to valuable intermediate furans. We will discuss how process intensification can enable modular chemical manufacturing.
