Cover Story: Non-edible lignocellulosic biomass can be converted into drop-in biofuels via various routes among which much attention has been recently paid to a combination of biological and chemical transformations. The promising example is that fermentation-derived acetone and alcohols can be catalytically transformed into long-chain hydrocarbons of fuel range. In the chemical transformation are involved two reaction steps such as alcohol dehydrogenation into aldehyde over metallic sites and aldol condensation between acetone of enol/enolate type and in-situ formed aldehyde over basic sites. This desired conversion is achieved by Cu catalysts supported on the ceria-zirconia of ceria rich. View Paper here
