- Abstract
The Cover shows how rENewable ‐ based processes challENge existing oil ‐ based routes for a more sustainable manufacture of consumer products. The establishmENt of alternative technologies is contingENt upon the idENtification of effective heterogENeous catalysts and suitable feedstocks. In their Full Paper, G. M. Lari, B. Puértolas et al. describe the design of a zeolite ‐ based catalyst for the gas ‐ phase transformation of lactic acid, a versatile platform easily obtained from glycerol or sugars, into acrylic acid, a commodity chemical used in paints, plastics, glues, and superabsorbENts. Simple and scalable acid and alkaline treatmENts ENable the introduction of basicity and mesoporosity and the reduction of Lewis acidity in a commercial aluminosilicate, gENerating a material that shows superior selectivity and remarkably ENhanced stability. More information can be found in the Full Paper by G. M. Lari, B. Puértolas et al. on page 1507 in Issue 8, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201600102).
