Guest Lecture Prof. Dr. Will Medlin - University of ColoradoAbstract
One of the most important factors governing the efficiency of a reaction process is the selectivity to desired products. Achieving high selectivity is necessary in realizing efficient chemical processes that minimize energy inputs and waste but represents a major challenge for complex chemical feedstocks with multiple functional groups. Addressing this problem is important both in conventional production of chemicals and for the conversion of biomass to chemicals and fuels, requiring improved design of the materials that catalyze these reactions.Read more
