Polymeric materials play a key role in modern industry. Owing to outstanding and very
versatile properties of polymers, they have rather quickly occupied the great niche of …

It is a 21st century challenge to develop a more sustainable chemical industry where fossil-
based resources are, where possible, preferentially replaced by renewable alternatives. Bio …

Increasing demand for transportation fuels, awareness of climate change, and dwindling
supplies of crude oil has led to the rapid increase in production of biomass derived …

The ferric–manganese doped sulfated zirconia nanoparticle solid acid catalyst was
prepared through the impregnation reaction followed by calcination at 600° C for 3 h. The …

Recently, research on the production and transformation of sorbitol has become exciting in
chemical industry and in catalysis studies for its broad applications. It opens up a new path …

Isosorbide is a diol derived from sorbitol and obtained through dehydration reactions that
has raised much interest in the literature over the past few decades. Thus, this platform …

Conversion of sorbitol to isosorbide by heterogeneous catalysts is a challenge in biorefinery.
Herein, H-beta zeolites with specific Si/Al ratios uniquely give isosorbide in up to 76% yield …

A highly porous and acidic metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101 (Cr)-SO 3 H, was
hydrothermally synthesized in one step using sulfonic acid-functionalized ligands. The …

A novel mesoporous niobium phosphate supported Ruthenium (Ru/NbOPO4) catalyst was
prepared for the selective conversion of cellulose to sorbitol. In this study, the influence of …

Dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide in water was studied using various types of
aluminosilicate zeolites as heterogeneous catalyst. Among the zeolite catalysts tested, the …
