CZ135-GF-Glucaric_acid/GLU

Utilization of waste biomass for catalytic conversion to glucaric acid: from multiscale reaction modelling to reactor production

Description

Catalytic conversion of biomass residues into value-added chemicals with minimized environmental impact

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Need for sustainable, efficient catalytic processes to convert biomass residues into value-added chemicals, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Objective

Rapid testing of diverse catalyst compositions and morphologies under suitable reaction conditions, combined with cost-effective catalyst preparation and reactor design for optimal glucaric acid production.
