The production of biofuel has increased considerably over the last years. Glycerol, a by-
product of biodiesel synthesis, accounts for 10wt% of the total product and has a limited …

Efficient synthesis of renewable fuels remains a challenging and important line of research.
We report a strategy by which aqueous solutions of γ-valerolactone (GVL), produced from …

The oligomerization of the light olefins ethene, propene, and butenes into fuels and
chemicals has been investigated and commercially practiced for many years. While the area …

A series of Ni-doped HZSM-5 catalysts were prepared and the catalytic performance of
these catalysts in n-butene trimerization was investigated. The Ni-loading, the Si/Al ratio of …

Existing industrial technologies for the production of motor fuel compounds by the
heterogeneous oligomerization of light С 2–С 4 alkenes are considered, along with ones …

Light alkenes oligomerization, performed in the presence of solid acid catalysts, is an
important alternative for the production of clean jet fuels. For 1-hexene oligomerization, the …

Oligomerization offers a broad potential for converting light olefins into liquid fuels. Here,
tungstophosphoric acid, TPA, was impregnated on a mesoporous silica support, MCM-41, at …

Over the last decades, the global demand of the production of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)
was significantly decreased from 30 million tons per year (MTPY) in 1995 to 12 million tons …

Dimerization of isobutene to branched C 8 olefins (precursors of high octane gasoline
additives) was performed over eco-friendly activated carbon catalysts impregnated with …

A series of silica, glass and molecular sieves supported chloroaluminate ionic liquids (ILs)
were prepared and their catalytic performance on the trimerization of isobutene based on C4 …
