Conspectus Silica–alumina catalysts, including zeolites and amorphous silica–aluminas
(ASAs), are among the most widely used solid acid catalysts and supports to produce …

In modern technologies, the researchers are keen on top-down approaches to tailor the
materials from bulk into their nanometer forms. For the amorphous alumina, this is the other …

Catalytic ethane dehydrogenation (CEDH) to ethylene is an important alternative to oil-
based cracking processes due to the shale gas revolution, but the dominant Pt-based …

Silica–alumina-based solid acid is one of the most popular heterogeneous catalysts utilized
in the petrochemical process and biorefining. The acid density, strength, and accessibility of …

Amorphous silica-aluminas with enhanced Brønsted acidity have been successfully
synthesized via a novel acetic acid based sol-gel process. The resulting amorphous silica …

Ethanol dehydration is effectively catalyzed by strongly acidic zeolites which, however,
exhibit poor time-on-stream stability. For example, HZSM-5 features strong acid sites …

Adsorption is an important process for the industrial dye effluent treatment. Many adsorbents
are employed such as activated carbon, metal oxide, molecular sieves etc. All those …

Amorphous silica–aluminas (ASAs) are important acidic catalysts and supports for many
industrially essential and sustainable processes. The identification of surface acid sites with …

This paper discusses the effect of rising temperatures pyrolysis and the use of silica-alumina
catalysts located in a dedicated chamber to improve the quality of bio-oil in terms of O/C …

Alumina and its mixed oxides are popular industrial supports for emerging supported metal
catalysts. Pentacoordinated Al (AlV) species are identified as key surface sites for anchoring …
