Innovative Benign-by-design Flow Chemistry Protocols: From Nanomaterials Synthesis to Biomass/Waste Valorization

Rafael Luque, Professor, Universidad de Cordoba

The design of benign and environmentally sound methodologies has been the driving force of scientists in recent years. Attractive and innovative protocols that nowadays are even part of industrial ventures including biomass-derived porous carbonaceous materials, biodiesel integrating glycerol into its composition and more recently gasification and waste valorisation have been recently developed in our group in past years. These topics have extensively covered the preparation and design of (nano)materials and their utilisation in heterogeneously catalysed processes as well as in biomass and ;waste valorisation practises. The proposed contribution has been aimed to provide an overview of recent endeavors related to the development of benign-by-design continuous flow chemical protocols for various topics ranging from nanomaterials synthesis (supported nanoparticles) to  biomass and waste valorisation.
