Session: Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks: Chemicals (2011 Annual Meeting)

Wednesday, October 19, 2011: 8:30 AM

200 I (Minneapolis Convention Center)

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 materials from biomass, petroleum, and coal.
