A set of nickel catalyst supported on sulfated zirconia pillared bentonite (Ni-BZS) was
synthesized and applied to the hydrocracking process to convert coconut oil to biodiesel …

Core/shell type Fe 0@ carbon (Fe@ C) nanocomposites inserted in the interlayer space of
montmorillonites (MMT) is prepared by one-step pyrolysis of Fe-metal organic frameworks …

Continuous cyclization of citronellal over zeolite-based extrudates was performed in a trickle-
bed reactor at 35–70° C and 10 bar of argon. Catalytic results were correlated with the …

Four clay materials, namely, bentonite, bleaching earth, attapulgite and sepiolite, were
shaped into the cylindrical body by extrusion. Clays were characterized in depth by TEM …

The conversion of citronellal into isopulegol is a key route in the production of a number of
important chemicals. In the perspective of green conversion, the use of a heterogeneous …

Citral and citronellal are important chemicals in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries,
since they can be converted into other more valuable chemicals that are needed in many …

This study involved in maximizing the conversion of lauric acid to glycol ester via
esterification with diethylene glycol, aided by calcined Zn-Mg-Al catalyst in a 250-ml reactor …

This project introduces green chemistry to the undergraduate laboratory through two
pedagogical techniques: undergraduate research and guided-inquiry. Through these two …

Clay catalyst has received much attention to replace the homogeneous catalysts in the
esterification reaction to produce fatty acid methyl ester as the source of biodiesel as it is low …

A two-step greener catalytic process has been developed for the semi-synthesis of (−)-
menthol from citronellal-rich essential oils such as Cymbopogon winterianus and Corymbia …
