A novel Pd/Fe2O3 catalyst for the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin derived phenolic compounds

According to a report on the Biomass Magazine, a novel Fe2O3 based catalyst was developed by researchers at Washington State University (http://www.biomassmagazine.com/articles/11086/new-catalyst-could-improve-biofuels-production). The addition of Pd remarkably promotes the catalytic activity of Fe catalyst, for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of m-cresol, which is a model chemical of lignin … Continue reading
