The sustainable biodiesel industry relies on converting biorefinery by-product glycerol into
valuable chemicals. A wet-impregnated Pd/SBA-15 catalyst for the selective dehydration of …

A Preyssler-type heteropolyacid supported on silica, synthesized and characterized by FTIR,
was tested for levulinic acid (LA) esterification with n-butanol under microwave-assisted …

Continuous reactive distillation is one of the optimized methods for synthesis of C1-C6
esters industrially. The products of the reaction are difficult to be obtained in their pure states …

Waste cooking oil (WCO) is a readily available and cheap feedstock for biodiesel
production. However, WCO contains high levels of free fatty acids (FFAs), which negatively …

MgAl 2 O 4 dispersed on HBEA zeolite with different spinel contents were successfully
synthesized and their glycerol dehydration performances were presented. The different …

The escalating demand for key petrochemicals, particularly ethylene and propylene,
underscores the critical need for proficient catalysts in crude oil conversion processes …

Isomorphic substitution of zeolites with B, Al and Ga is a widely used approach in catalysis.
The experimentally reported trend of their acidities decreases in the order: Al> Ga> B …

The rational design of isolated metals containing zeolites is crucial for the catalytic
conversion of biomass‐derived compounds. Herein, we explored the insertion behavior of …

A series of activated carbons (YMBC) obtained from yerba mate twig residue (YMT) were
prepared by chemical (H3PO4) and thermal activation. Five materials were synthesized …

The current study focuses on the green synthesis of 2, 3-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (DHQZ),
an important pharmaceutical compound, using water as a solvent and zeolite as a solid acid …
