Abstract
Wastewater treatment plants can be transformed into “wastewater biorefineries” to produce valuable products, including liquid fuels and fertilizers, while simultaneously meeting effluent quality requirements. This project examines a promising strategy for valorization of wastewater, extracting polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from wastewater biomass and converting PHB-derived monomer acids into propylene, a valuable industrial precursor, over commercial solid acid catalysts. Experiments study the effects of catalyst Brønsted and Lewis acidities on conversion and product selectivity, as well as the long-term time-on-stream stability and deactivation of catalysts.
