CATALYTIC AND PHOTOCATALYTIC PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS AND CHEMICALS FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES

The research project during my three years of activity was focused on the de-velopment of innovative processes and catalytic materials for the production of sustainable chemicals and fuels. The work was mainly divided in three are-as: i) bioethanol valorization through the heterogeneous catalytic production of H2 and ethylene; ii) CO and CO2 conversion; iii) H2 usage through ammonia production.
