1. 1. Hydrogen Assisted Lignin Depolymerization with Pulp Mill Catalysts

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Linnéa Kollberg; [2017]
   Keywords : Lignin; depolymerization; pulp mill catalysts; hydrogenolysis; base catalyzed depolymerization; Chemistry;

   Abstract : As part of the development of a process for production of a lignin-rich oil that can serve as a renewable feedstock to existing petroleum refineries, hydrogen assisted depolymerization of lignin in filtered black liquor has been investigated. This process offers the possibility to reduce fossil emissions from transportation by utilization of the largest renewable carbon resource in Sweden, namely the forest. READ MORE

3. 2. Noble metal catalysts for the hydrocracking of FT waxes

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

   Author : Rodrigo Suárez París; [2012]
   Keywords : Hydrocracking; Fischer-Tropsch; Hexadecane; Platinum; Palladium;

   Abstract : Bifunctional catalysts consisting of palladium or platinum and supported on amorphous silica-alumina were prepared and tested in the hydrocracking of n-hexadecane, which is considered to be representative of n-paraffins in hydrocracker feeds. In addition to the evaluation of the  physicochemical properties, a comprehensive study on catalyst activity and selectivity has been conducted, in the full range of conversions. READ MORE

4. 3. Noble Metal Catalysts for the Hydrocracking of Fischer-Tropsch waxes

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

   Author : Ibone Elorriaga de la Fuente; [2012]
   Keywords : hydrocracking; platinum; palladium; Fischer Tropsch; hexadecane;

   Abstract : Fischer-Tropsch synthesis enables the production of high quality diesel fuel from biomass derived synthesis gas. In order to increase the overall diesel yield, it is necessary to perform a subsequent hydrocracking of the long-chain linear paraffins. READ MORE
