Catalysts for production of high value chemicals from bio-derived sustainable waste streams

Direct conversion of aqueous glycerol to methanol and a range of other organic products is measured over ceria and magnesia catalysts. The data details catalyst performance data and catalyst characterization using a variety of techniques (nitrogen adsorption, Thermal Gravimetric Aanalysis-Differential Thermal Analysis, Temperature Programmed Desorption, Temperature Programmed Reduction and Powder X-Ray Diffraction).
