Session: Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks: Chemicals (2009 Annual Meeting)

Description:

Catalysis can play a key role in environmentally benign production of biodegradable and/or renewable chemicals and materials. This session focuses on catalyst and catalytic process development for producing chemicals and materials from biomass, petroleum, and coal.
