First-principles-based kinetic modeling of the zeolite-catalyzed conversion of furans to aromatics Open
The development of strategies to convert renewable feedstocks into fuels and chemicals and displace petroleum is motivated from economic, environmental and political reasons and is arguably one of the world's foremost scientific energy cha…

Inhibition of Xylene Isomerization in the Production of Renewable Aromatic Chemicals from Biomass-Derived Furans Open
Here, inhibition of p-xylene isomerization in the presence of H-Y (Si/Al 2.6) and H-BEA (Si/Al 12.5) zeolites was studied under conditions relevant to p-xylene production from 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and ethylene. Through examination of th…

Kinetic Regime Change in the Tandem Dehydrative Aromatization of Furan Diels–Alder Products Open
Renewable production of p-xylene from [4 + 2] Diels–Alder cycloaddition of 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and ethylene with H–Y zeolite catalyst in n-heptane solvent is investigated. Experimental studies varying the solid acid catalyst concentrat…
