Journal ArticleDOI
Lactic acid as a platform chemical in the biobased economy: the role of chemocatalysis
TL;DR: In this article, a critical overview of all advances in the field of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and recognises a great potential of some of these chemocatalytic approaches to produce and transform lactic acid as well as some other promising α-hydroxy acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential and challenges of zeolite chemistry in the catalytic conversion of biomass
Thijs Ennaert,Joost Van Aelst,Jan Dijkmans,Rik De Clercq,Wouter Schutyser,Michiel Dusselier,Danny Verboekend,Bert F. Sels +7 more
TL;DR: The application of zeolites, equipped with a variety of active sites, in Brønsted acid, Lewis acid, or multifunctional catalysed reactions is discussed and generalised to provide a comprehensive overview.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small-Pore Zeolites: Synthesis and Catalysis
Michiel Dusselier,Mark E. Davis +1 more
TL;DR: This review first focuses on the relevant synthesis details of all 8MR zeolites and provides some generalized findings and related insights, and catalytic applications where 8MRZeolites either have been commercialized or have dominated investigations are presented, with the aim of providing structure-activity relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of old chemistry and new catalytic advances in the on-purpose synthesis of butadiene
TL;DR: A comprehensive summary of the current state of knowledge regarding advances and achievements in the field of the chemocatalytic conversion of ethanol and butanediols to butadiene is presented, including thermodynamics and kinetic aspects of the reactions with discussions on the reaction pathways and the type of catalysts developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast and selective sugar conversion to alkyl lactate and lactic acid with bifunctional carbon-silica catalysts.
Filip de Clippel,Michiel Dusselier,Ruben Van Rompaey,Pieter Vanelderen,Jan Dijkmans,E. V. Makshina,Lars Giebeler,Steffen Oswald,Gino V. Baron,Joeri Denayer,Paolo P. Pescarmona,Pierre Jacobs,Bert F. Sels +12 more
TL;DR: It was demonstrated for the first time that the presence of weak Brønsted acid sites is crucial in accelerating the rate-determining (dehydration) reaction, that is, the first step in the reaction network from triose to lactate.
