Preface: Catalysis for Valorization of Biomass and Biomass-derived Platform Molecules (18th NCC)

Funding

The 18th NCC was organized by the Catalysis Society of China, co-hosted by Tianjin University, Hebei University of Technology, and China National Offshore Oil Corporation’s Tianjin Research and Design Institute of Chemical Industry, and supported by SINOPEC Catalyst Company. The conference consisted of nine topics in the following parallel sessions: 1) Catalytic materials; 2) Characterization of catalysts; 3) New catalytic reactions; 4) Theoretical catalysis; 5) Catalysis in energy; 6) Catalytic conversion of biomass; 7) Environmental catalysis; 8) Catalytic synthesis of fine chemicals and 9) Industrial catalysis.
