Renewable production of phthalic anhydride from biomass-derived furan and maleic anhydrid
Center for Catalytic Science and Technology (CCST): The renewable production of chemicals and fuels from biomass is inherently difficult due to competing side reactions. CCST has demonstrated the selective production of phthalic anhydride, a chemical used for the manufacture of plasticizers, unsaturated polyesters, and resins in the millions of t
