This paper reviews the effects of corrosion on the engine parts that come in contact with a
newly developed biodiesel fuel and its petrodiesel blend. Copper, aluminum, copper alloys …

Tea dregs, an abundant and easily found bio-waste, were utilized as a precursor to
developing acid biochar (SO 3 H-TDAC) that was used as a catalyst in producing biodiesel …

The esterification of palmitic acid with methanol was studied over mesoporous sulfated
zirconia (SZ) solid acid catalyst, prepared by using CTAB cationic surfactant as a template …

Bio-waste valorization to generate carbon-based solid acid catalysts for biodiesel production
from the low-grade, highly acidic feedstocks has been a research hot spot over the last …

Electron donating complexing agents (CAs) are one of the key components to achieve active
Zn (II)–Co (III) double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization …

Solid Fe-Zn double-metal cyanide (DMC) complexes exhibit high catalytic activity for
hydrolysis of edible and non-edible vegetable oils and animal fat. In a batch reaction …

A series of catalysts containing 10–40 wt% of 12-tungstosilicic acid anchored to zeolite Hβ
