In this review article, we report the recent development and utilization of silica from rice husk
(RH) for the immobilization of transition metals and organic moieties. Silicon precursor was …

The alkylation of phenol with alcohols/olefins is an important reaction to transform lignin
based phenolics to useful chemicals. In the present study, the sulfonated mesoporous …

A series of highly mesoporous copper catalysts (5–20 wt.%) supported on silica rice husk
were synthesized via sol–gel route at room temperature. The FT-IR and 29 Si MAS NMR …

Highly mesoporous cobalt silica rice husk catalysts with (5–15 wt.%) Co 2+ loading were
prepared via a simple sol–gel technique at room temperature. The successful insertion of …

Biomass is an inexpensive and attractive candidate for the renewable production of energy
and transportation fuels. Today, nature produces more than 170 billion metric tons of …

Rice husk ash (RHA) as a raw material was used to synthesize SUZ-4 zeolite via a
hydrothermal process in the presence of tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide as the template …

An environmentally friendly method for alkylating aromatic compounds with simple alcohols
in the presence of a catalytic amount of indium (III) triflate is reported. Ionic liquids are used …
