Advanced Catalysis for Drop-in Chemicals
Biomass conversion into drop-in chemicals using novel heterogeneous bulk- and nano-scale catalysts is currently a hot research topic with the aim of replacing petrochemicals in the chemical industry. Considering the importance of this subject to the scientific community, Advanced Catalysis for Drop-in Chemicals provides the latest developments in the catalytic synthesis of drop-in chemicals mainly from lignocellulose, carbohydrates (cellulose, hemicellulose, C6 and C5 sugars, and their derivatives), lignin, and glycerol. The role of both heterogeneous bulk solid and nanostructured catalysts, along with their advantages and disadvantages for drop-in chemicals synthesis are critically summarized. Addressing the frontiers and prospects for using drop-in chemicals in place of petrochemicals in the chemical industry is also a key topic of this book. - Describes fossil fuels, biomass, drop-in chemicals, catalysis, and nano- and atomic-scale catalysts - Includes pre- and post-treatment strategies for biomass upgrading - Provides green catalytic processes for drop-in chemicals synthesis - Outlines stabilization of nano- and atomic-scale catalysts - Examines using drop-in chemicals in place of petrochemicals in the chemical industry

About the Author

Dr. Putla Sudarsanam is a Scientist at the Catalysis Division, CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, Maharashtra, India. He obtained his PhD in Chemistry, 2015 from CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. He has published about 55 peer-reviewed journal articles and 4 book chapters (Citations: 2150 and H-index: 30). His research mainly focuses on developing advanced solid catalysts for biomass valorization, CO2-to-chemicals conversion, and environmental catalysis. He has been honored for his outstanding contributions with numerous prestigious awards/fellowships, including Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship-2016 (Belgium), Leibniz-DAAD Postdoc Fellowship-2016 (Germany), Best PhD Thesis Award-2015 (The Catalysis Society of India), EuropaCat PhD Student Award-2013 (XIth European Congress on Catalysis, France), and Endeavour Research Fellowship-2013 (Australia).
Hu Li is currently associate Professor at Center for R&D of Fine Chemicals, Guizhou University (GZU), China. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow with a research topic on biomass upgrading at Tohoku University (Japan) and Nanjing Agricultural University (China) under supervision of Prof. R. L. Smith and Prof. Z. Fang, respectively. His research focuses on the catalytic conversion of biomass into chemicals and biofuels with functional catalytic materials. Dr. Li has more than 60 peer-reviewed papers (H-index 16), 6 patents, 1 co-edited Springer book and 2 book chapters on biomass valorization. He is a guest editor of Current Organic Chemistry, and recently was award by the Fok Ying-Tong Education Foundation, Ministry of Education (2018).
