Heterogeneous catalysis is a promising technology for the valorization of renewable
biomass to sustainable advanced fuels and fine chemicals. Porosity and nanostructure are …

Polymers are ubiquitously present in our daily life because they can meet a wide range of
needs and fields of applications. This success, based on an irresponsible linear …

A series of acid–base amphoteric amorphous Zr (OH) 4 catalysts, synthesized with different
amounts of leached SiO2, were investigated for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of liquid …

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 …

Methyl levulinate (ML) and levulinic acid (LA), important platform chemicals derived from
biomass carbohydrates, are potential candidates for use as fuel additives and chemicals. In …

Conversion of biomass derived carbohydrates to alkyl levulinates is an important process
due to the wide application of alkyl levulinates as chemicals and biofuel additives. Efficient …

Catalytic transformation of carbohydrates to bio-chemicals such as 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
(HMF) has become a hot research topic, but development of cost-effective/efficient catalysts …

In this work, BEA-type hierarchically structured stannosilicate zeolite Sn-Beta-H was
developed, which involved alkali-induced degradation of all-silica Beta (Si-Beta) and self …

Two types of sulfonic acid functionalized tin-incorporated SBA-15 mesoporous molecular
sieves catalysts were prepared by the post functionalization method and one-pot …

Rapid synthesis of Sn-containing nanosized all-silica Beta zeolite was developed in this
work. The method employed all-silica Beta (Si-Beta) as parent, which was crystallized in …
