Benign-by-design preparation of iron oxides/humins catalytic nanocomposites
Filiciotto, Layla; Balu, Alina M.; Romero, Antonio A.; Rodríguez-Castellón, Enrique; Van der Waal, Jan Cornelis; Luque, Rafael (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)The current acid-catalyzed conversion of biomass feedstocks yields substantial quantities of undesired by-products called humins, for which applications are yet to be found. This work aims to provide a starting point for ... -
Mechanochemical Synthesis of TiO2 Nanocomposites as Photocatalysts for Benzyl Alcohol Photo-Oxidation
Ouyang, Weiyi; Kuna, Ewelina; Yepes, Alfonso; Balu, Alina M.; Romero, Antonio A.; Colmenares, Juan C.; Luque, Rafael (MDPI, 2016)TiO2 (anatase phase) has excellent photocatalytic performance and different methods have been reported to overcome its main limitation of high band gap energy. In this work, TiO2-magnetically-separable nanocomposites ... -
Reconstruction of humins formation mechanism from decomposition products: A GC-MS study based on catalytic continuous flow depolymerizations
Filiciotto, Layla; Balu, Alina M.; Romero, Antonio A.; Angelici, Carlo; Van der Waal, Jan Cornelis; Luque, Rafael (Elsevier, 2019)Humins, a by-product of biomass chemical conversion technologies, still present controversies in their structural and mechanistic identification. Traditional studies of the structure and mechanism have focused so far on ... -
Towards industrial furfural conversion: selectivity and stability of palladium and platinum catalysts under continuous flow regime
Ouyang, Weiyi; Yepeza, Alfonso; Romero, Antonio A.; Luque, Rafael (2019)Furfural is an important biorefinery platform chemical, derived from hemicelluloses which represent an import fraction of lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks and waste streams originating from them. Recently, promising ... -
Wheat bran valorisation: Towards photocatalytic nanomaterials for benzyl alcohol photo-oxidation
Balu, Alina M.; Ouyang, Weiyi; Reina, Jose M.; Kuna, Ewelina; Yépez, Alfonso; Romero, Antonio A.; Colmenares, Juan C.; Luque, Rafael (Elsevier, 2017)In this work, we have successfully synthesized a set of titania photocatalytic nanocomposites by the incorporation of different TiO2 content on wheat bran residues. The obtained catalysts were characterized by different ...
