Interactions of biomass derived oxygenates with heterogeneous catalysts in aqueous and vacuum environments

Biomass is one of the most promising replacements for fossil fuels as a feedstock for chemical and transportation fuel production. The combination of low vapor pressure and high polarity of most biomass derived molecules makes water the ideal solvent for biomass upgrading reaction schemes. Metal oxi...
