Cross-Aldol Condensation of Acetone and n-Butanol into Aliphatic Ketones over Supported Cu Catalysts on Ceria-Zirconia

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient catalyst system was proposed for aldol condensation of fermented products such as acetone and alcohols over the catalysts containing both metallic sites for the dehydrogenation of alcohols and basic sites for condensation reaction.

Hydrogenation of o-cresol on platinum catalyst: Catalytic experiments and first-principles calculations

TL;DR: In this article, a density-functional theory was employed to investigate the atomic-scale mechanism of o-cresol hydrogenation on the Pt(111) surface, and the formation of 2-methyl-cyclohexanone was found to involve two steps.

Oil fractions from the pyrolysis of diverse organic wastes: The different effects of conventional and microwave induced pyrolysis

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the type of residue (municipal solid wastes, sewage sludges, plastic wastes and agroresidues) and the heating mechanism on the product distribution within the oil fraction has been investigated by means of GC-MS technique.
