- A result of a collaboration between 5 institutions supported by the Chinese Scholarship Council and EU (MINECO Project CTM2015-63864-R), this work uses reaction engineering, spectroscopic and computational tools to understand the conversion of lactates to pyruvates using vanadia-titania catalysts. Pyruvate is used in several industries (e.g. food, beverages, pharmaceutical) with a global market size expected to reach $ 47M by 2025. The work was the subject of an invited presentation to the Dutch Zeolite Association Symposium (Amsterdam, 2019). Based on this and other biomass conversion reactions, Rutgers Resins awarded a project to make biopolymers as a public-private partnership (180,000 Euro).
