Glycerol carbonylation with CO2 to form glycerol carbonate: A review of recent developments and challenges
Tebandeke, Emmanuel; Lukato, Simon; Kasozi, Gabriel N.; Naziriwo, Betty (Elsevier, 2021-10)The utilization of CO2 as a feedstock to produce valuable chemical products is an important area of research in the field of sustainable chemistry and climate change. It addresses the challenge of rising CO2 atmospheric ... -
Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen as the oxidant using Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates
Tebandeke, Emmanuel; Lukato, Simon; Wendt, Ola F.; Wallenberg, Reine; Kasozi, Gabriel N.; Naziriwo, Betty; Persson, Axel; Folkers, Laura C. (Elsevier, 2021)We report an efficient process for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant catalyzed by Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates (Ag-Cu/POM). The Ag-Cu/POM catalyst was prepared by ... -
Supported silver and copper catalysts for selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as oxidant
Lukato, Simon (Makerere University, 2020-10)ABSTRACT This dissertation presents sustainable and efficient processes for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant and catalyzed by Ag-Cu bimetallic catalysts supported on polyoxometalates ...
