“…Moreover, the locus of research activity on catalysis has moved from Europe in the 19th-20th centuries to the USA in the 20th century and now in the 21st century to Asia (Japan, Korea and China). Today, we see a new evolution of alternative fuel and new raw materials based on biomass [97,98], water splitting, etc. It appears that although great improvements and new developments were observed in the second part of the 20th century, there remains plenty of room for young researchers from academia and industry to discover and develop new metal oxide catalysts, new preparation procedures, and new or improved processes.…”

This review article contains a reminder of the fundamentals of heterogeneous catalysis and a description of the main domains of heterogeneous catalysis and main families of metal oxide catalysts, which cover acid-base reactions, selective partial oxidation reactions, total oxidation reactions, depollution, biomass conversion, green chemistry and photocatalysis. Metal oxide catalysts are essential components in most refining and petrochemical processes. These catalysts are also critical to improving environmental quality. This paper attempts to review the major current industrial applications of supported and unsupported metal oxide catalysts. Viewpoints for understanding the catalysts' action are given, while applications and several case studies from academia and industry are given. Emphases are on catalyst description from synthesis to reaction conditions, on main industrial applications in the different domains and on views for the future, mainly regulated by environmental issues. Following a review of the major types of metal oxide catalysts and the processes that use these catalysts, this paper considers current and prospective major applications, where recent advances in the science of metal oxide catalysts have major economic and environmental impacts.

“…The liquid phase selective transformation of oxygenated compounds in aqueous effluents is an important objective in the development of biorefineries. For instance, oxidative esterification of furfural with methanol to methyl 2-furoate used as fragrance component has been studied on gold on ZrO 2 , CeO 2 , TiO 2 or Fe 2 O 3 supports [27][28][29]. Furfural is one of the top value-added biomass-derived chemicals [30], and has already commercial applications in the chemical industry.…”

In this review paper, we have assembled the main characteristics of partial oxidation reactions (oxidative dehydrogenation and selective oxidation to olefins or oxygenates, as aldehydes and carboxylic acids and nitriles), as well as total oxidation, particularly for depollution, environmental issues and wastewater treatments. Both gas–solid and liquid–solid media have been considered with recent and representative examples within these fields. We have also discussed about their potential and prospective industrial applications. Particular attention has been brought to new raw materials stemming from biomass, as well as to liquid–solid catalysts cases. This review paper also summarizes the progresses made in the use of unconventional activation methods for performing oxidation reactions, highlighting the synergy of these technologies with heterogeneous catalysis. Focus has been centered on both usual catalysts activation methods and less usual ones, such as the use of ultrasounds, microwaves, grinding (mechanochemistry) and photo-activated processes, as well as their combined use.

“…The liquid phase selective transformation of oxygenated compounds in aqueous effluents (obtained by phase separation after biomass fast pyrolysis processes) is an important target in the development of biorefineries. For instance, selective oxidative esterification of furfural with methanol to methyl 2-furoate for flagrance was studied on gold supported on different supports, such as ZrO2, CeO2, TiO2 or Fe2O3 [28][29][30]. Furfural has been recognized as one of the top value-added biomass-derived chemicals [31], which is due to already available commercial applications in the chemical industry.…”
