heterogeneous catalyst for the production of the solvent methyl isobutyl ketone. The catalyst was developed based on activated hydrotalcite, a layered clay made up of magnesium and aluminium hydroxides and deposited on carbon nanofibres. Easily recovered from the product through filtration, the catalyst can produce methyl isobutyl ketone from acetone and hydrogen.

use the method to set up the world's first commercial-scale production of biomass-derived phenols. The method ferments starch with E coli bacteria spliced with the genes of a special enzyme. It is based on an enzyme for synthesizing 2-deoxyscyllo-inosose (DOI), which transforms glucose into phenols.
## Abstract It has already been found in several reactions that FriedelβCrafts catalysts are only effective when traces of water are present. We have found that this does not apply to the polymerisation reaction of __iso__βbutene with BF~3~ and AlCl~3~ under conditions where highβmolecular weight p
