211 Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks III: Alcohols and Polyols


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