THE HIGH-THROUGHPUT RESEARCH APPROACH TOBIOREFINERIES - A POWERFUL TOOL FOR STUDYING THECOMPLEXITY OF CATALYTIC PROCESSES

摘要

The integration of complex catalytic reactions in biorefineries will require a considerable research effort. Up-front new catalysts will have to be developed and the ever changing feed composition and impurity profiles of biomass will require fast constant adjustments of the process. The capabilities of High-throughput methodologies to simultaneously perform several reactions will offer advantages for the development of the new processes required and in the daily operation of the new biorefinery concepts.
