Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Biomass valorization is receiving increasing attention over the past years with the consumption of traditional fossil fuels as well as the deterioration of the global environment. The transformation of biomass into highly value-added chemicals and important feedstocks will be of keen interest and great impact. The conversion process of biomass requires efficient and durable catalysts with high selectivity and stable structures. This chapter focuses on the employment of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MOF composites (metal, metal oxide, or polyoxometalates combined with MOFs), and MOF-derived materials (carbon, carbon-supported metal or metal oxide by using MOF as precursors) as solid catalysts for the upgrading of biomass into important fine chemicals. First, we will give a short introduction of biomass and MOFs, and then the brief biomass valorization reactions by MOFs and MOF-based catalysts based on the types of substrates. The last segment is summary of the state of the art, challenges, as well as prospects of MOFs and MOFs-derived structures for biomass transformation.
