TL;DR: In this paper, the role of metal nanoparticles and acidic supports in the deoxygenation of guaiacol was investigated using acid-site-measurement-dependent catalysis results.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of variation of total gas flow rates and addition of auxiliary gases--N2, O2, air, water--to the CO2 conversion process shows higher power efficiency than other nonthermal plasma methods.

TL;DR: The cellulose pretreatment step with 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is to loosen a crystalline cellulose through partial transformation of cellulose I to cellulose II and, furthermore, the TRS release, while the subsequent hydrolysis of [bmim]Cl-treated cellulose over Nafion(R) NR50 is effective to convert celluloseII to glucose.

TL;DR: In this paper, a species of brown algae, called kelp (Saccharina japonica), was pretreated for the efficient operation of pyrolysis processes, and the results showed that the sulfuric acid pretreatment significantly reduced the inorganic elements but did not significantly affect the properties of the pyrotechnics.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of carbohydrate derivatives on the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived phenolic compounds, guaiacol in this study, were observed using supported ruthenium catalysts.
