Summary
Heterogeneous catalysis for cellulosic and oily biomass conversion o Principles of heterogeneous catalysis What is catalysis ? History of heterogeneous catalysis Catalytic cycle and origin of accelerated reaction rate, influence on product selectivity, active site in heterogeneous catalysts Economic interest Synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts Most common families of heterogeneous catalysts Physical and chemical properties, o Transformation of polyols in liquid and gas phases Gas-phase and liquid phase dehydration of glycerol to acrolein and upgrading of the latter to high value-added chemicals (acrylonitrile, acrylic acid). Liquid phase oxidation of glycerol to carboxylic acids. Influence of the purity of the substrate. o Acetalization reaction of light alcohol. o Guerbet reaction (alcohols) o Transformation of sugar (fructose, saccharose, …) o H2 production from bio-based compounds. o Principle of high-throughput experiments Development of HTE for catalysis HT tools for synthesis HT tools for characterization HT tools for catalytic performances measurements HT methodology Some examples of HT catalyst development

Pedagogy
Heterogeneous catalysis for cellulosic and oily biomass conversion: 30 h Lecture /Seminar Knowledge • Have knowledge of major industrial processes involving homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis for the conversion of biomass • Have skills in production of molecules, including one or more catalytic steps from bio-based building blocks • Know the main processes of enzymatic catalysis Competences The student acquires a scientific approach in the implementation of enzymatic catalysis for transformation and valorization of biomass for biomolecule and chemical production. This concerns a future engineer or researcher, and is valid for any industry in biotechnology, both public and private.

Prerequisites
Students wishing to take this training must have a good background in catalysis and must be aware of the most usual reactions (and of the main moieties of interest) in organic chemistry, together with having a broad basic knowledge of the main current techniques used in spectrochemistry. The multidisciplinary nature of the topic addressed in the lectures also requires a good general culture and a spirit of curiosity that is not limited to chemistry but also touches on all scientific disciplines.
