Catalysts, 6(10), 1. doi:10.3390/catal6100153Every four years, a group of outstanding individuals, the best in their field, come together from all over the world. These individuals have spent years learning their craft, and now they assemble to show what they can do. Such a gathering happened in 2016
A New Year of Catalysts

Catalysts, 6(1), 2. doi:10.3390/catal6010016Excerpt: Welcome to a new year of Catalysts, an international, peer-reviewed open access journal. From time to time, I like to write about the status of the journal: what milestones have been reached, what special issues will be coming out, what conferences we will partner with, etc. As we turn to the New Year, this seems like an opportune time to provide an update on Catalysts
What's in a Number?
No full textCitation: Hohn, K. L. (2015). What's in a Number? Catalysts, 5(3), 1304-1305. doi:10.3390/catal5031304People like to distill complicated phenomenon into easily digestible numbers. Whether it’s a top ten list of the best movies of all time, the shooting percentage of our basketball team’s star, or a student’s score on an exam, we like to quantify phenomenon that is unquantifiable. We like the comfort of a number which we can use as the basis for our decisions. This is an imperfect process, as underlying human behavior can, ultimately, not be boiled down to a single number. But we try anyway
Feature papers to celebrate the landmarks of catalysts

Catalysts, 5(4), 2018-2023. doi:10.3390/catal5042018Catalysis is a critical scientific field that underpins much of the world’s chemical industry. For example, it is often quoted that catalysis plays a role in 90% of all industrial chemical products. This importance has led to numerous academic journals and specialized conferences on the subject, as practitioners seek outlets to publish their cutting-edge research on catalysis
Interview with Rustica L. Hohn - OH 738
No full textThis interview was conducted by William Calandro with Rustica L. Hohn as part of Project 2020: A Collaborative Oral History. Hohn details her experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and the critical year 2020. She discusses in depth the fragile state of the hospitality industry amid the pandemic, often noting the challenges she faced as a restaurant worker. Hohn later discusses working for the non-profit organization DREAM in 2020, notably her time filming advertisements for small businesses in Summerville, S.C. Hohn also shares her interests in social media (TikTok, podcasts, etc.) as well as the hobbies she picked up during the pandemic. Other notable topics of conversation include education, social injustice, political division, and the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.
Rustica Lynn Hohn (b. 1994) is a native of Summerville, SC who is earning her M.A. in Teaching degree with a concentration in Social Studies at Winthrop University. She previously studied Mass Communications as an undergraduate student.
Spearheaded by Dr. O. Jennifer Dixon-McKnight, an Assistant Professor of History & African American Studies at Winthrop University, Project 2020 is best summarized in her words: “The goal was to conduct interviews that explored the various ways in which Americans were experiencing and being impacted by the various watershed moments that emerged during 2020 (the global pandemic, social unrest, financial challenges, issues with healthcare, etc.).https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/oralhistoryprogram/1656/thumbnail.jp

Production of methyl ethyl ketone from biomass using a hybrid biochemical/catalytic approach
No full textThe recent demand for sustainable routes to fuels and chemicals has led to an increased amount of research in conversion of natural resources. A potential approach for conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals is to combine biochemical and chemical processes. This research used microbial fermentation to produce 2,3-butanediol, which was then converted to methyl ethyl ketone by dehydration over a solid acid catalyst. The fermentation process was performed using the bacteria Klebsiella oxytoca (K.O). 2,3-butanediol then dehydrated to form methyl ethyl ketone on a solid acid catalyst, the proton form of ZSM-5, and heat. The goal was to determine the reaction kinetics of 2,3-butanediol dehydration over ZSM-5, and to demonstrate the hybrid biochemical/thermochemical approach for synthesizing chemicals from biomass. It was found that ZSM-5 produced methyl ethyl ketone with high selectivity (greater than 90%), and could convert fermentative 2,3-butanediol to methyl ethyl ketone. The reaction order of 2,3-butanediol dehydration was found to be slightly large than one, and an activation energy of 32.3 kJ/mol was measured
