127 Catalytic Processing of Fossil and Biorenewable Feedstocks: Chemicals & Fuels II

Monday, November 9, 2015: 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM
355C (Salt Palace 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 fuels from biomass, petroleum, and coal.
