Back Cover: Direct Synthesis of Renewable Dodecanol and Dodecane with Methyl Isobutyl Ketone over Dual‐Bed Catalyst Systems (ChemSusChem 5/2017). Issue 5 (7th March 2017) - Sheng, Xueru
Abstract : The Back Cover picture shows a rooster and a hen in commemoration of 2017 being the Chinese rooster year. Both are labeled as MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone). The rooster is eating the grass, which represents biomass and lignocellulose. Their products: two chickens; one represents SDS (sodium dodecylsulfate) and the other represents jet fuel. These are the two products that can be produced from our method using duel‐bed catalysis systems. More details can be found in the Communication by Sheng et al. onpage 825 in Issue 5, 2017 (DOI:10.1002/cssc.201601563 ).
