ZrO 2 is a versatile heterogeneous catalyst due to its good stability, unique surface
properties and by the existence of acidic/basic and oxidising/reducing properties. To explore …

Tungstated zirconia (WO3/ZrO2) is one of the most well-studied solid acid catalyst systems
and continues to attract the attention of both academia and industry. Understanding and …

Bulk ZrO 2 has shown high activity and selectivity for propane dehydrogenation (PDH). Its
catalytic performance can be enhanced by substitution of the Zr ions with suitable dopant …

The precipitated zirconium oxyhydroxide, ZrOH (H), was used as a support for tungstate
loading, where its specific surface area was 1.5-fold higher than that of the analogous …

This work presents the formation of butyl levulinate, a potential fuel additive, and an
excellent renewable chemical obtained by the butanolysis of furfuryl alcohol (FAL) over a …

Zirconia-supported tungsten oxide (WO x/ZrO 2) catalysts were successfully synthesized
using a suspension containing amorphous hydrous zirconia precipitates [ZrO x (OH) 4-2x …

A series of novel acidic ionic liquids (ILs) mediated in metal chloride or sulfuric acid (IL-RCl x
or IL-H 2 SO 4, R= Na, K, Al, Ba, Ca) were investigated as catalysts in the alkylation of …

Novel porous magadiite/Al-magadiite heterostructures (PMH/PAMH) and aluminated
derivatives of PMH (x Al-PMH, x= Al/Si in feeding) were fabricated upon two-dimensional …
