Zirconia has advantageous thermal stability and acid–base properties. The acidity character
of ZrO2 can be enhanced through the sulfation process forming sulfated zirconia (ZrO2 …

In this study, bentonite modified by zirconium nitride (ZrN) and zirconium phosphide (ZrP)
catalysts was studied in the hydrocracking of crude palm oil to biofuels. The study …

Numerous concerns, including environmental impact and public health issues, drive the
urgent need to replace nonrenewable fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, with …

The synthesis of a sulfated zirconia catalyst and its modification with Ni metal was carried
out and applied in the hydrocracking of waste cooking oil into biogasoline. The SO 4/ZrO 2 …

Zr-containing SiO2 and their parent catalysts were fabricated with different methods using
EDTA chelation and template-assist. The activity of the catalysts was explored in crude palm …

The production of biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuels has been a significant challenge
until recently. The present work focuses on hydrocracking used cooking oil (UCO) into …

In this study, the catalytic activity of bifunctional SiO2/Zr catalysts prepared by template and
chelate methods using potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHF) for crude palm oil (CPO) …

The present study describes the production of biodiesel from castor plant (Riccinus
communis) using heterogeneous base catalyst of NaOH dispersed on bentonite. The …

Increasing carbon dioxide gas emissions due to the high demand for the aviation industry
and the depletion of fossil fuel sources are serious issues that require researchers to …

This study investigated the fabrication of nickel phosphide immobilized on natural bentonite
(NiP/bentonite) as a low-cost catalyst with different metal loadings (mEq/g) to produce …
