Advances in nanocatalysts design for biofuels production
(Wiley-VCH, 2017)
The exploitation of nanocatalysts, at the boundary between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, is tracking new efficient ways to produce renewable biofuels in environmentally friendly conditions. Their solid state ...
Outlook for Direct Use of Sunflower and Castor Oils as Biofuels in Compression Ignition Diesel Engines, Being Part of Diesel/Ethyl Acetate/Straight Vegetable Oil Triple Blends
(MDPI, 2020)
Today, biofuels are indispensable in the implementation of fossil fuels replacement processes. This study evaluates ethyl acetate (EA) as a solvent of two straight vegetable oils (SVOs), castor oil (CO), and sunflower oil ...
Continuous-Flow Processes in Heterogeneously Catalyzed Transformations of Biomass Derivatives into Fuels and Chemicals
(MDPI, 2012)
Continuous flow chemical processes offer several advantages as compared to
batch chemistries. These are particularly relevant in the case of heterogeneously catalyzed
transformations of biomass-derived platform molecules ...
New Biofuel Integrating Glycerol into Its Composition Through the Use of Covalent Immobilized Pig Pancreatic Lipase
(MDPI, 2012)
By using 1,3-specific Pig Pancreatic lipase (EC 3.1.1.3 or PPL), covalently
immobilized on AlPO4/Sepiolite support as biocatalyst, a new second-generation biodiesel
was obtained in the transesterification reaction of ...
Boosting the Ni-Catalyzed Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of Anisole Using Scrap Catalytic Converters
(Wiley, 2022)
The large availability and renewable nature of lignin makes its upgrading to bioproducts of particular interest for sustainable development. The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of anisole specifically represents a model reaction ...
Optimization of Biodiesel and Biofuel Process
(MDPI, 2022)
Nanostructured Photocatalysts and Their Applications in the Photocatalytic Transformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass: An Overview
(MDPI, 2009)
Heterogeneous photocatalysis offer many possibilities for finding appropiate environmentally friendly solutions for many of the the problems affecting our society (i.e., energy issues). Researchers are still looking for ...
Internal combustion engines and carbon-neutral fuels: a perspective on emission neutrality in the European Union
(MDPI, 2024)
Nowadays, there is an intense debate in the European Union (EU) regarding the limits to achieve the European Green Deal, to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent in the world. In this context, there are also ...
