Shape-selective Valorization of Biomass-derived Glycolaldehyde using Tin-containing Zeolites

Abstract

Invited for this month′s cover is a collaboration group between Haldor Topsøe A/S and the Technical University of Denmark. The image shows the catalytic upgrading of biomass-derived glycolaldehyde for the formation of the rare tetrose sugars by exploiting the medium-sized pores of zeotype Sn-MFI.
