  6. 4. Ash chemistry and fuel design focusing on combustion of phosphorus-rich biomass

    Author : Nils Skoglund; Dan Boström; Rainer Backman; Franz Winter; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phosphorus; biomass; combustion; ash chemistry; fuel design; ash transformation; phosphorus-rich; ash-forming elements; fuel fingerprint; ash transformation reactions; Lewis base; Lewis acid; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Biomass is increasingly used as a feedstock in global energy production. This may present operational challenges in energy conversion processes which are related to the inorganic content of these biomasses. As a larger variety of biomass is used the need for a basic understanding of ash transformation reactions becomes increasingly important. READ MORE

  7. 5. Impact of Secondary Interactions in Asymmetric Catalysis

    Author : Anders Frölander; Christina Moberg; Gerard van Koten; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; asymmetric catalysis; secondary interaction; hydrogen bond; chiral ligand; allylic alkylation; hydrosilylation; cyanation; pymox; box; PHOX; pybox; palladium; iridium; rhodium; Lewis acid; Lewis base; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with secondary interactions in asymmetric catalysis and their impact on the outcome of catalytic reactions. The first part revolves around the metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction and how interactions within the catalyst affect the stereochemistry. READ MORE
