My research interests focus on the study of catalytic processes for alternative and renewable fuel productions as well as biorefinery application. This involves the development of new and industrially practical heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogen-rich gas, biodiesel, biomass-to-liquid and value-added chemical production. Several reactions related to fuel syntheses (i.e., reforming, transesterification, esterification, hydrolysis/dehydration, aldol-condensation/ hydrogenation) have been investigated aiming at converting local feedstock (e.g. methane, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, crude palm oil, lignocellulosic biomass, and industrial-wastes) into clean fuels and high-value chemical products. The investigations include the studies of feedstock purification; catalyst synthesis; reaction activity, stability and selectivity; reaction kinetics in laboratory-scale reactors; and prototype-scale catalytic reactor design and construction. | ||||
