Clays and modified or supported clays have become some of the widely used catalysts for a
variety of organic reactions, due to their easy structural modifications and activation, low …

In this work, the production of dimethyl ether (DME) from methanol over natural kaolin clay
modified through impregnation with various percentages of H2SO4, WO3, or ZrO2 catalysts …

Oxymethylene ethers (OME) are an attractive alternative to fossil diesel fuel due to strongly
reduced harmful emissions. An anhydrous, liquid phase production process based on …

The climate situation that the planet is experiencing, mainly due to the emission of
greenhouse gases, poses great challenges to mitigate it. Since CO2 is the most abundant …

Transfer risk of heavy metal in soil–water–organism systems strongly depend on natural clay
aggregation/dispersion. An important characteristic of natural clay minerals is their strong …

In this study, the adsorption behavior of monovalent cations Li+, Na+, and Cs+ in LiCl, NaCl,
and CsCl solutions, respectively, on montmorillonite and quartz surfaces were investigated …

Phosphotungstic and silicotungstic acid salt catalysts (CuPW, CuSiW, FePW, FeSiW) were
synthesized by substitution of protons with ferric and copper ions through a simple …

Direct dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde and hydrogen is a “dream reaction”
requiring catalysts, which are not only active in this highly endothermic reaction but also …

The current study highlights the synthesis of Zn-enriched biosourced catalysts (BIOCATs)
obtained from ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivated on contaminated soils located in the …

This study aims to a more environment eco-friendly approach for producing dimethyl ether
(DME), as an alternative fuel, through the dehydration of methanol. The method involves …
