Catalytic biomass conversion KU Leuven
In our joint pursuit of facing current global warming and climate change challenges, development of sustainable chemistry and engineering using renewable energy and carbon sources is key. Besides utilization of plastic waste and CO2, chemical conversion of renewable biomass sources to provide chemicals and materials that can substitute, and ideally even outperform, our current fossil-based portfolio is one of the most important cornerstones ...
Characterization of Nitrogen- and Sulfur-Containing Compounds in Renewable and Petrochemical Fractions using Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography Ghent University
Typical petroleum or bio-oil samples contain thousands of individual hydrocarbon compounds and their heteroatom derivatives. Many of them exist in extremely low concentrations. Improved characterization of sulfur and nitrogen containing compounds will allow to gain understanding about how these species react and how they are formed in biochemical and petrochemical processes.
