Hierarchical zeolites combine the intrinsic catalytic properties of microporous zeolites and
the enhanced access and transport of the additional meso-and/or macroporous system …

This article reviews the recent advances in the development of zeolite catalysts for biomass
valorization processes to produce both biofuels and/or bio-based chemicals, which is an …

Zr, Ce, Hf-based isostructural UIO-66 MOFs exhibited varying degree of Brønsted acidity
(UiO-66 (Hf)> UiO-66 (Ce)> UiO-66 (Zr)) on their secondary building units owing to the …

A continuous flow process using heterogeneous catalysts like zeolites (BEA, MFI, FAU) was
developed for the conversion of crude glycerol with acetone to solketal (2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3 …

Biodiesel has been successfully commercialized in numerous countries. Glycerol, as a
byproduct in biodiesel production plant, has been explored recently for fuel additive …

In the current work, acetalization of crude glycerol to produce valuable solketal, a renewable
fuel additive, is studied over metal-free mordenite-based catalysts. The perfect combination …

Glycerol acetalization reaction with acetone was performed at 343 K and using a 1: 1 molar
ratio of glycerol to acetone in the feed over hierarchical zeolites comprising pores of different …

The best conditions for the kinetic study of the ketalization reaction of glycerol with acetone
for the production of solketal using zeolite H-BEA (SAR 19) as a catalyst were found through …

Glycerol acetalization in the presence of aldehydes/ketals and acid catalysts leads to
production of fuel-additives, which could improve clean fuel ignition, promote combustion …

Abstract α-zirconium phosphate is widely used as a solid acid catalyst or a catalyst support.
In this work, layered crystalline α-zirconium phosphates were synthesized via a facile …
