Catalytic pyrolysis of crude glycerol over a shaped H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst with (partial) recycling of the product oil was studied with the incentive to improve benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) yields. Recycling of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) fraction, after separation from BTX by distillation …

Het onderzoek beschreven in deze scriptie richt zich op de asymmetrische hydrogenering van cyclohexadienen tot chirale cyclohexanen. Via een regioselectieve kobalt gekatalyseerde Diels-Alder reactie zijn 1,3-gesubstitueerde cyclohexenen gesynthetiseerd. Deze cyclohexenen dienen als substraten voor de …

Granular 2-nitropropyl potato starch was synthesized by reaction with 2-nitropropyl acetate in an aqueous suspension. Nitroalkylation occurs preferentially with the amylose fraction of potato starch, as was confirmed by leaching experiments and digestion of the modified starch with α-amylase. The 2-nitropropyl …
