Hydro(deoxygenation) Reaction Network of Lignocellulosic Oxygenates

Abstract

He has more than 10 years of professional academic research experience in nano-and biocatalysis, porous and framework materials, and electrochemistry.T he last eight years of his research has centered on the chemistry of lignocellulose, lignocellulose-derived materials, enzymatic processes, and understanding of their chemical reaction networks. He is currently interested in biocomposite materials research for therapeutic and related applications. This also includes materials for electrochemical energy generation and biomass-derived novel materials for advanced applications. Figure 2.

Selective Biocatalytic Defunctionalization of Raw Materials

“…Reactions for upgrading biobased polyhydroxylated compounds by the selective removal of hydroxy groups are of great interest, for example, in deoxydehydration, [133][134][135][136][137] hydrodeoxygenation, [138,139] didehydroxylation, [140] or dehydrative epoxidation [141] of vicinal diols. While impressive advances have been achieved with various chemocatalysts, both transition metalbased and metal-free, further research and development is clearly needed for improving the selectivity, outcome, and sustainability of these reactions, such as high-performing, stable, and sustainable catalysts, additives, and solvents, in order to design industrially viable biobased processes.…”

Highlighting the Greener Shift in Transportation Energy and Fuels Based on Novel Catalytic Materials

“…Vachova reported on CoMo and NiMo catalysts for hydrodeoxygenation of rapeseed oil in a trickle bed reactor (320–380 °C, 40–80 bar) . Numerous papers on HDO of fatty acids were reported on iron-based catalysts − and there was regular contribution on nickel-based catalysts. ,, Distribution and potential logistic risk are the reasons for numerous recent works with available minerals such as nickel and iron.…”

Homogeneous Catalyzed Valorization of Furanics: A Sustainable Bridge to Fuels and Chemicals

“…For instance, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and deoxygenation (DO) of furans (including HMF) produce value-added chemicals and liquid fuels [22][23][24]. In the HDO process, hydrocarbon components are generated from biomass derivatives with lower oxygen content via a catalytic reaction in the presence of H2 [25].…”

“…We will illustrate the recent development of well-defined and selective catalysts whose performance and stability are positioning homogeneous catalysis as key technologies for biomass transformation. For instance, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and deoxygenation (DO) of furans (including HMF) produce value-added chemicals and liquid fuels [22][23][24]. In the HDO process, hydrocarbon components are generated from biomass derivatives with lower oxygen content via a catalytic reaction in the presence of H 2 [25].…”
